A terminal fitting (T) includes a locking plate (19) extending from a first side plate (17) and a stabilizer (22) projecting from a second side plate (18). A cutout (35) is formed at the extending end edge of the locking plate (19) and engages the stabilizer (22) to restrict relative displacements of the locking plate (19) and the second side plate (18) to define a first linking portion (27) that links the base plate (16) and a first contact piece (23). A second linking portion (28) links the second side plate (18) and a second contact piece (24). A restricting portion (36) is formed on the locking plate (19) and restricts displacement of the second contact piece (24) away from the first plate-like contact piece (23).
