The objective of the present invention is to reconcile assurance of the barrel's function of crimping thin wire and enhancement in the strength of the tab, and fit the top end of the tab on the housing to prevent the tab from lifting from the supporting wall, and in turn, to prevent defective fitting-in or failure of fitting-in between the plug connector and the receptacle connector. The electric contact of plug connector of the present invention is formed by folding a blank of a certain configuration, inserted into the receiving cell of the housing and fitted on the housing. The tab of the electric contact comprises a base plate and a contact plate formed by folding a part of the blank and overlapping them in the thickness direction. The rear end in the depth direction of the base plate protrudes beyond the rear end in the depth direction of the contact plate to provide a protruding part. When the body is set in the receiving cell of the housing, the base plate of the tab protruding out of the receiving cell is supported by the housing, and the protruding part is fitted on the housing to prevent the tab from lifting in the thickness direction from the housing.
