A female terminal fitting has a rectangular tubular body ( 12 ) with opposed first and second walls ( 16, 17 ) and an insertion opening ( 15 ) for receiving a tab ( 11 ). An elastic contact piece ( 21 ) is inside the body ( 12 ) and extends obliquely from a support ( 27 ) on the second wall ( 17 ) of the body ( 12 ) towards both the first wall ( 16 ) and the insertion opening ( 15 ). The elastic contact piece ( 21 ) then bends back towards the second wall ( 17 ) to define an apex ( 23 ). A projection ( 30 ) projects toward the first wall ( 16 ) from a location on the elastic contact piece ( 21 ) between the support ( 27 ) and the apex ( 23 ). The elastic contact piece ( 21 ) deforms flexibly about the support ( 27 ) when the tab ( 11 ) is inserted into the body ( 12 ), thus sandwiching the tab ( 11 ) between a contact ( 31 ) of the projection ( 30 ) and the first wall ( 16 ).
