A connector terminal, the connector terminal being a fork terminal and comprising: a pair of terminal contacts configured to sandwich a male connector therebetween to make electric contact with the male connector; and a terminal body supporting the pair of terminal contacts, said terminal contacts are formed by a bent metal plate punched into a designed shape, said terminal contacts each including a contact surface formed by bending a contact part (322A, 322B) not facing the other contact part (322B, 322A) and the contact parts extending beyond a longitudinal central axis at different positions along the longitudinal central axis of said terminal body before being bent to thereby cause said contact surfaces of said pair of terminal contacts to face each other at a determined position after bending and folding, the terminal body including a pair of compressing portions extending towards the longitudinal central axis of the terminal body facing each other, one of the terminal contacts includes a first portion including a first part extending towards a first direction in which the male connector is pulled out of the connector terminal, the first portion further including the contact part extending from the first part beyond the longitudinal central axis, the other of the terminal contacts includes a second portion including a second part extending towards a second direction in which the male connector is inserted into the connector terminal, the second portion further including the contact part extending from the second part beyond the longitudinal central axis, the first portion (320A and the second portion being thinner than the terminal body, the contact part of the one of the terminal contacts is bent to form a contact surface which faces the longitudinal central axis and the first part is folded about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis, after folding, the contact part of the one of the terminal contacts is located ahead of the compressing portion, and the contact part of the other of the terminal contacts is bent to form a contact surface which faces the longitudinal central axis, and the second part is folded about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis, after folding, the contact part of the other of the terminal contacts is located ahead of the compressing portion. a pair of terminal contacts configured to sandwich a male connector therebetween to make electric contact with the male connector; and a terminal body supporting the pair of terminal contacts, said terminal contacts are formed by a bent metal plate punched into a designed shape, said terminal contacts each including a contact surface formed by bending a contact part (322A, 322B) not facing the other contact part (322B, 322A) and the contact parts extending beyond a longitudinal central axis at different positions along the longitudinal central axis of said terminal body before being bent to thereby cause said contact surfaces of said pair of terminal contacts to face each other at a determined position after bending and folding, the terminal body including a pair of compressing portions extending towards the longitudinal central axis of the terminal body facing each other, one of the terminal contacts includes a first portion including a first part extending towards a first direction in which the male connector is pulled out of the connector terminal, the first portion further including the contact part extending from the first part beyond the longitudinal central axis, the other of the terminal contacts includes a second portion including a second part extending towards a second direction in which the male connector is inserted into the connector terminal, the second portion further including the contact part extending from the second part beyond the longitudinal central axis, the first portion (320A and the second portion being thinner than the terminal body, the contact part of the one of the terminal contacts is bent to form a contact surface which faces the longitudinal central axis and the first part is folded about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis, after folding, the contact part of the one of the terminal contacts is located ahead of the compressing portion, and the contact part of the other of the terminal contacts is bent to form a contact surface which faces the longitudinal central axis, and the second part is folded about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis, after folding, the contact part of the other of the terminal contacts is located ahead of the compressing portion.
