A first opening and a second opening are formed on the other both sides of the first body to expose the other ends of the conductive wire. Each of the elastic portions extends and is coupled from both ends of the first body to form a closed space, and a fastening member may be formed outside the elastic portion, respectively. The female terminal may include a second body and a plurality of coupling members. A coupling space may be formed in the second body to be coupled to the first body. A first notch and a second notch may be formed in the second body. Each of the coupling members may be formed on both sides of the coupling space, and the coupling members may be arranged to correspond to the fitting members. The first body moves non-directly toward the coupling space such that the first opening corresponds to the first cutout and the second opening corresponds to the second cutout, or the first opening corresponds to the second cutout. Corresponding to the notch and having the second opening corresponding to the first notch exposes the other end of the conductor, and by deforming the elastic parts, the fitting members are locked to different coupling members, and the elastic parts It is possible to unlock the fastening member and the coupling member by deforming.
