A female terminal for receiving a male terminal includes a main body having a box part for receiving the male terminal and a leaf spring to be accommodated in the box part. The box part has engaging notches formed in both sidewalls thereof, respectively. The leaf spring has raised projections which are arranged on both sides of an end in a longitudinal direction thereof. Further, engaging projections are provided at both inlets of the engaging notches of the box part. In assembly, when each of the raised projections pass through each of the engaging projections, the former deforms the latter elastically. After the raised projections pass through the engaging projections. They serve to prevent the raised projections restored elastically to their original configurations from coming out of the engaging notches.
