The object of the present invention is to provide a compact female terminal which makes it possible to prevent deformation of the female terminal when a tab terminal is inserted. The female terminal of the present invention has a female terminal (100) which is equipped with a bottom plate (11) which extends in the forward-rearward direction, side plates (12a and 12b) which rise vertically from both side edges of the bottom plate (11), two upper contact parts (14a and 14b) which are formed by bending the respective free ends of the side plates (12a and 12b) inward so that the free ends face the bottom plate (11), and a lower contact part (15) which extends rearward from the vicinity of the front end portion (11c) of the aforementioned bottom plate (11) on the side where a mating tab terminal is inserted, and which has a projection (16) on its upper surface. A mating tab terminal is inserted so that a hole on the tab terminal side engages with the projection (16), the female terminal is further equipped with arm parts (20a and 20b) which rise vertically from both side edges of the bottom plate (11) and separate from the side plates (12a and 12b), with the free ends (21a and 21b) of the arm parts being bent back over the upper contact parts (14a and 14b).
