Female terminal fitting and a blank for a plurality of terminal fittings

摘要

A female terminal fitting (10) is integrally formed by applying bending or the like to a metallic plate and provided with a main portion (20), a wire barrel (40) and an insulation barrel (50) in this order from front side to rear side. A cantilever-shaped resilient contact piece (70) that can be resiliently brought into contact with a male terminal fitting is resiliently deformably provided in the main portion (20). In a development obtained upon stamping the metallic plate out, the resilient contact piece (70) extends backward from the rear end edge of a ceiling wall (24) of the main portion (20) as a base end. The leading end of the resilient contact piece (70) is let to escape by an escaping recess (92) of a carrier (91).
