A terminal fitting (10) has a forwardly open tube (11) for receiving a male tab (T). An inner resilient contact piece (16; 22) has a base end (16A; 22A) unitary with a first wall of the tube (11) and an outer resilient contact piece (15; 21) has a base end (15A; 21A) unitary with a second wall of the tube (11). The respective base ends (15A, 21A; 16A, 22A) are in face-to-face contact, but a clearance (17; 23) is defined between the resilient contact pieces (16, 22; 15, 21) forward of the base ends (15A, 21A; 16A, 22A) prior to insertion of the male tab (T) into the tube (11). A male tab (T) can be inserted into the tube (11) and gradually closes the clearance (17; 23) from the rear end toward the front end. Thus, the support for resilient deformation shifts and stress concentrations are avoided.
