A female terminal includes a tube-shaped main body and an elastic contact plate supported inside the main body, possessing elasticity and extending from one opening toward another opening into which a male terminal is inserted. The elastic contact plate includes; a first section that faces the inner surface of the main body and is separated from the inner surface; a first contactor that is positioned on the other opening side of the first section and contacts the inner surface; a second section that extends in an arch shape toward the other opening from the first contactor; and a second contactor that is positioned on the other opening side of the second section and contacts the inner surface. The main body supports the elastic contact plate so the first contactor and the second contactor are able to slide on the inner surface. The first section is thinner than the second section.
