A terminal ( 10 ) has two high-rigidity portions ( 14 ) for resiliently contacting the inner surface of a through hole ( 23 ). A low-rigidity portion ( 17 ) spans between the high-rigidity portions ( 14 ) and is compressively deformable along its spanning direction. The low-rigidity portion ( 17 ) has an easily breakable portion ( 19 ) that breaks when a stress acting during the insertion of the terminal ( 10 ) into the through hole ( 23 ) exceeds a resiliency limit. Thus, the terminal ( 10 ) is held resiliently in contact with a large diameter through hole ( 23 ) by resilient forces of the two high-rigidity portions ( 14 ) and a resilient force of the low-rigidity portion ( 17 ). However, the terminal ( 10 ) is held resiliently in contact with a small diameter through hole ( 23 ) only by the resilient forces of the two high-rigidity portions ( 14 ).
