Abstract: A terminal 10 comprises: an angular tube portion 11 from the front of which a tab 41 of an opposite terminal 40 is inserted; an elastic contact piece 15 provided in the angular tube portion 11; and a receiving portion 19 provided in the angular tube portion 11 to hold the tab 41 between the receiving portion 19 and the elastic contact piece 15. The angular tube portion 11 comprises a first wall 12 on which the elastic contact piece 15 is provided, a second wall 13 on which the receiving portion 19 is provided, and a pair of side walls 14 connecting both side edges of the first wall 12 and both side edges of the second wall 13. The pair of side walls 14 oppose each other in a first direction. At least one of the pair of side walls 14 comprises an elastic piece 23 for pressing a side edge of the tab 41 toward the inside of the angular tube portion 11 in the first direction to prevent movement of the tab 41 in the first direction.

Abstract: A rectangular tube portion includes a first wall provided with the resilient contact piece, a second wall provided with the receiving portion and a pair of side walls connecting both side edges of the first wall and both side edges of the second wall. A facing direction of the pair of side walls is a first direction. At least one of the pair of side walls includes a resilient piece for suppressing a movement of the tab in the first direction by pressing a side edge of the tab inwardly of the rectangular tube portion 11 in the first direction. The rectangular tube portion includes a stopper portion for suppressing a movement of a tip part of the resilient piece inwardly of the rectangular tube portion in the first direction. The resilient piece includes a contact portion disposed to face the stopper portion in the first direction.
