It is aimed to provide a terminal fitting (1) in which thick plating films can be formed on necessary parts without requiring particularly complicated plating. The terminal fitting (10) includes a tubular connecting portion (11) into which a mating male terminal (60) is insertable. The connecting portion (11) includes a plurality of resilient pieces (14) circumferentially divided via expanding slots (13) extending from a tip. Thick film portions (22) with a thicker plating film than in other parts are provided on inner surfaces of the plurality of resilient pieces (14) and contact areas (17) capable of contacting the male terminal (60) are provided on these thick film portions (22). The thick film portions (22) and the contact areas (17) are arranged continuously in a circumferential direction except at the positions of the expanding slots (13) on an inner surface of the connecting portion (11) near a tip.
