A female terminal fitting

摘要

An object of the present invention is to prevent the insertion stroke of a male tab from being extended and to facilitate gap management. A female terminal fitting 10 is provided with a tubular main portion 30, into which a mating male tab 70 is inserted along an axial center A from front, and a resilient contact piece 80 extending backward in the main portion 30 and having a free end slidable on an inner surface of the main portion 30. The inner surface of the main portion 30 includes a first slide surface 51 for displacing the free end of the resilient contact piece 80 with a distance thereof to the axial center A of the main portion 30 kept contact while the free end of the resilient contact piece 80 slides from a slide start position 43 to a slide intermediate position 44 and a second slide surface 52 for displacing the free end of the resilient contact piece 80 in such a direction as to extend the distance to the axial center A of the main portion 30 while this free end slides from the slide intermediate position 44 to a slide end position 45.
