(57) An electrical connector terminal comprises a connection member (10) having a connection section (11) to be crimped to core wires (C1), a mating member (20) having a mating section (22) to be mated with the contact element of a mating connector, and a linking section (30) for integrating the connection and mating members (10, 20). The mating member (20) is made from a springy material while the connection member (10) is made from a material which is softer than the above material for the mating member (20) and easy to make plastic deformation for crimping connection.
