PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability by reliably preventing excessive displacement of an elastic contact segment, without lowering the efficiency of material cutting layout or flexibility of design. SOLUTION: A female terminal 10 consists of a tip connecting portion 11 and an electric wire connecting portion 12. The tip connecting portion 11 comprises a square tubular portion 13 and an elastical contact segment 14, connected to a tip bottom plate portion of the tubular portion 13 and bent back into the tubular portion 13. Side plates of the tubular portion 13 have a hole 18, positioned in facing opposite to a side edge of the elastic contact segment 14. Both side edges of the elastic contact segment 14 have a protrusion 19 inserted in the holes 18. The protrusion 19 has a double-layered structure, which his formed when a plate-like element 21, formed as an outward extension to the protrusion 19 further from the point where the protrusion 19, is formed is folded back by 180 deg. to the back of the elastic contact segment 14.
