A female terminal fitting ( 12 ) has tube ( 19 ) for receiving a male terminal fitting ( 10 ). A main spring ( 27 ) is cantilevered forwardly from the tube ( 19 ) and an auxiliary spring ( 30 ) is cantilevered forwardly at the outer side of the main spring piece ( 27 ). Stoppers ( 32 ) bulge out from the opposite sides of the auxiliary spring ( 30 ) for preventing the auxiliary spring ( 30 ) from being displaced up when the free end of the auxiliary spring ( 30 ) is thrust up from the outer side. Receiving portions ( 33 ) are left in the tube ( 19 ) during the forming of the auxiliary spring ( 30 ) and contact the stoppers ( 32 ). Thus, even if an external matter strikes against the auxiliary spring ( 30 ), the auxiliary spring ( 30 ) will not deform excessively in thrust-up direction.
