A female metal terminal comprises a terminal body having a contact portion for contact with a tab of a male metal terminal, a pressing member having a spring member for pressing the tab against the contact portion, said spring member being mounted on the terminal body, and a movement limitation portion for limiting the movement of said tab against the bias of said spring member. A pair of front and rear movement limitation portions are formed on an upper wall of the terminal body in such a manner that a contact portion of the spring member for contact with the tab is disposed between the two movement limitation portions. The tab is inserted into a space between the spring member and the contact portion, and in this condition, even when a tilting force acts on the tab in an upward or a downward direction, the movement of the tab against the bias of the spring member is prevented by the movement limitation portion, so that the proper condition of contact between the tab and the contact portion is maintained. <IMAGE> |
