Abstract
A female terminal for a connector comprising a terminal body that is fixed by a retainer of a housing, a leaf spring that extends forward in the terminal body, and a stabilizer that is fixed by a lance of the housing. At the root end of the leaf spring, a round part that bends lengthwise into an approximately circular arc is formed. A bead having a curved section to increase flexural rigidity of the leaf spring is formed ahead of the round part on the top end side. A stabilizer having a face directed in the width direction is erected in the height direction from the top end of the terminal body.
