In a connector terminal into which a cooperating male contact terminal can be smoothly inserted and a movable contact strip can be prevented from being buckled while a desired contact pressure can be attained, a connecting portion 11 is formed into a substantially box shape by folding a bottom plate 13, side plates 14, 15 (14 is not shown) continuously extending from respective sides of the bottom plate and a top plate 16 continuously extending from one of the side plates. A movable contact strip 17 is formed by folding back the top plate 16 around a gently curved portion 17a into a resilient spring having an inverted triangular shape including a contact portion 17b near an inwardly bent middle portion of the movable contact strip 17. A hole 17c is formed at an end portion of the movable contact strip 17 into which an engagement tip 16b formed by folding a part of the top plate 16 inwardly is inserted. <IMAGE>
