A terminal fitting and its manufacturing method, and a connector using the terminal fitting are provided. The terminal fitting includes a first connection terminal portion, a second connection terminal portion including a pattern contact portion provided on one side of an arm extending from the first connection terminal portion, and a circuit body pressing arm forming a gap between itself and the pattern contact portion to press a conductor pattern of a flexible printed circuit board inserted into the gap toward the pattern contact portion. The pattern contact portion is a portion of a surface of a contact portion plate section, the contact portion plate section being punched in a one piece together with the arm so as to be contiguous with one side of the arm and bent in a plate thickness direction of the arm such that the a surface of a contact portion plate section face the circuit body pressing arm.
