A tab (2) constitutes a male terminal (1) serving as a terminal fitting. The tab (2) is inserted into a cylindrical electric contact portion (6) of a female terminal (3) serving as a mating terminal fitting. The tab (2) is sandwiched by a pair of resilient pieces (7) of the electric contact portion 6 of the female terminal (3). This prevents the tab (2) from going out of the electric contact portion (6). The tab (2) is formed by bending a sheet metal. The sheet metal is formed so that the thickness of a part (23) thereof, which includes portions to be respectively brought into contact with the resilient pieces (7) when the tab (2) is inserted into the electric contact portion (6), is smaller than those of other parts thereof. Curved surfaces (31) respectively placed on the corners of the part (23) are formed so that the radius of curvature of each of the curved surfaces (31) is small. Even when the tab (2) is misaligned, a flat surface (35) placed between the curved surfaces (31) comes in contact with the resilient pieces (7), respectively.
