<p>The female terminal (1) has a metal plate (2), a plurality of contact members (4) which contact the mating terminal (20), and which are formed by punching out and bending the metal plate (2), and torsion members (6) which are formed by punching out areas in the vicinity of the roots of the contact members (4), and which connect the contact members (4) to the metal plate (2). The torsion members (6) are twisted when the mating male terminal (20) contacts the contact members (4). There is no plastic deformation of the contact members (formed by punching out and bending a flat metal plate) when the mating male terminal is engaged and connected, even in cases where the spring length of the contact members is short.</p> |
