A terminal ( 10 ) has opposite front and rear ends and a receiving plate with lateral edges. Front and rear connecting pieces ( 17 A, 17 B) project up from the lateral edges and then curve inwardly. The front connecting piece ( 17 A) is shorter in a front-to-rear direction than the rear connecting piece ( 17 B). The connecting pieces ( 17 A, 17 B) extend beyond the widthwise center of the receiving plate ( 15 ). Thus, the curved connecting pieces ( 17 A, 17 B) overlap when viewed in forward and backward directions. The connecting pieces ( 17 A, 17 B) have window holes ( 19 A, 19 B) for weakening. The provision of front and rear connecting pieces ( 17 A, 17 B) causes inserting force peaks at the front and rear when a mating tab-shaped terminal is inserted. As a result, a peak value is lowered to reduce the inserting force.
