Abstract
A single sheet material is punched and bent to form an improved female terminal comprising a contactor block including a resilient contact piece a bottom plate and an upper plate having an extension bent toward the bottom plate to form a protective guide tag at an end opening of the contactor block through which a male terminal is inserted into the contactor block. The protective guide tag corrects insertion posture of the male terminal, thereby preventing degradation in resiliency of the resilient contact piece of the contactor block and improving electrical connection between the male terminal and the female terminal.
