A female terminal fitting ( 20 ) has an approximately tubular connection portion ( 22 ) with an open front end for receiving a tab ( 14 ) of a male terminal fitting ( 10 ). Concavities ( 30 ) extend longitudinally in the connection portion ( 22 ) at positions opposed to side surfaces of the tab ( 14 ). The concavities ( 30 ) enable the outside width (W) of the connection portion ( 22 ) to be small while securing a large clearance (C) outward from the side surfaces of the tab ( 14 ). The concavities ( 30 ) do not significantly decrease the strength of the entire connection portion ( 22 ). Additionally, the large clearance (C) avoids the need for highly accurate manufacturing.
