<p>A connector component is disclosed, including a terminal. The terminal has a box-shaped connection portion which in use contacts a mating male-side terminal. An electrical wire connection portion connected to an electrical wire is provided rearward from the box-shaped connection portion. The height of the box-shaped connection portion is greater than that of the wire connection portion. A guard member projects from both side walls located between the box-shaped connection portion and the wire connection portion. When an electrically conductive plate material is cut and bent to form the terminal, the guard member is formed such that a tip of the guard member is integral with both side walls and folded inward in the terminal to prevent a sharp edge from being exposed to the outside. A periphery of a terminal insertion opening in a seal of the connector housing is prevented from being damaged when pressing the terminal into a terminal insertion opening of a resilient sealing member or when removing it therefrom. <IMAGE></p>
