Abstract
A female terminal fitting (20) is to be crimped to a wire including a core (12) formed by plural strands (11) and includes a bottom plate (22) on which the core (12) is to be placed, and a pair of crimping pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate (22) and to be crimped to the core (12) in such a manner as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate (22). Butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are formed with a thinning portion (27), and a corner portion (30) is formed by deforming the thinning portion (27) when the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). Accordingly, a clearance formed at the butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) can be made smaller than in the case where the thinning portions (27) are not provided.
