Original Abstract Submitted
A terminal includes: a cylindrical box portion into which a mating terminal is inserted; and a spring portion which extends in a longitudinal direction from a front end portion to a rear end portion of a box portion and deforms in a deflection direction away from the mating terminal when the mating terminal inserted into the box portion comes into contact with the spring portion. The spring portion has a pair of projections projecting outward in a width direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction from a free end portion of the spring portion on a rear end side. The box portion has a holding piece portion formed so as to project from an upper wall constituting the box portion toward the projection, and of which a lower end abuts on the projection to hold the spring portion in a state elastically deformed in the deflection direction from a natural state.
