Terminal and connector having the same

A terminal comprising:

• a first fixable portion having a dimension in a second direction crossing a first direction, the dimension allowing the first fixable portion to be fixed to a first portion of an accommodation hole of a body made of an insulation resin, the accommodation hole extending in the first direction;
• a second fixable portion being spaced from the first fixable portion in the first direction and having a dimension in the second direction allowing the second fixable portion to be fixed to a second portion of the accommodation hole of the body;
• a joining portion joining the first and second fixable portions and having a dimension in the second direction that is smaller than the respective dimensions in the second direction of the first and second fixable portions;
• and
• a first contacting portion extending from the first fixable portion toward the second fixable portion and being resiliently deformable in the second direction, wherein
• the first fixable portion includes a base, and a projection on the base of the first fixable portion, and
• a sum of a dimension in the third direction of the base of the first fixable portion and a dimension in the third direction of the projection of the first fixable portion is substantially the same as or slightly larger than a dimension in the third direction of the first portion of the accommodation hole, and
• the third direction crosses the first and second directions.
