A protective cover B of an electrical terminal is partitioned into an upper cover 50 and a lower cover 40. By doing this, the upper cover 50 and the lower cover 40 can be simultaneously bent prior to fitting. The upper cover 50 has its left and right edges bent perpendicular downwards, the left and right side plates having supporting holes 54 formed thereon. The lower cover 40 has a pair of fitting members 41 and crimping members 42 protruding therefrom, the fitting members 41 having supporting protrusions 43,44 fitting with the supporting holes 54,15 formed on the upper cover 50 and the terminal main body A.
