PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a female terminal capable of being miniaturized while securing contact pressure. SOLUTION: The female terminal 10 to which a male terminal 16 is inserted and connected has a substantially square cylindrical shape, in which an axial part of each of a top wall 20, a bottom wall 22 and a lateral pair of side walls 24 that are four walls between square parts is formed into a leaf spring 20A, 22A or 24A which is independently elastically deformed and brought into contact with the male terminal 16. Since each wall constitutes the leaf spring, the terminal can be miniaturized without requiring the providing of the leaf spring in the cylindrical wall. Further, since each leaf spring 20A, 22A or 24A is brought into contact with the male terminal 15 from different directions, contact pressure can be secured. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
