CONNECTOR TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR WITH THE CONNECTOR TERMINAL

An object of the present invention is to provide a connector terminal 20 which can be easily fitted to or separated from a partner terminal (partner connector) even if the space for fitting operation is limited in the fitting direction. The connector terminal 20 has a terminal inserting portion 30 to which the partner terminal is inserted, and a coupling portion 60 intercoupling and electrically interconnectng the inserting portion 30 and a wire connection portion 50 of a coated wire W. The terminal inserting portion 30 and the wire connecting portion 50 are juxtaposed such that the inserting direction C of the partner terminal to be inserted into the terminal inserting portion 30 and the axial center direction X of the end of the coated wire W to be connected to the wire connecting portion 50 is parallel with or substantially parallel with each other, and are intercoupled via the coupling portion 60 so as to overlap with each other in a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to both of the inserting direction C of the partner terminal and the axial center direction X of the end of the coated wire W.
