Abstract
A projected portion 7 extending in a lengthwise direction of a tab portion 6 and having a given width is formed in a central section of one layer of the tab portion 6 where there is no seam before the tab portion is formed by folding back lateral sections to overlie the central section. The tab portion 6 is allowed to have a specified thickness by the presence of the projected portion 7. The tab portion 6 thus formed enables the fabrication of a more light-weight male terminal fitting at reduced costs and an increase in its strength.
