Abstract
A method for manufacturing a female terminal (1) with a tubular portion (11) formed by bending a metal plate into a tubular shape and resilient contact pieces (12) extending from the tubular portion (11) in an axial direction of the tubular portion (11), folded inwardly of the tubular portion (11) and configured to resiliently contact a mating terminal inside the tubular portion (11) includes a joining step of joining metal members thinner than the metal plate to the metal plate, and a forming step of bending the metal members joined to the metal plate and forming the metal members as the resilient contact pieces.
