Abstract
A production method for a terminal includes: a first pressing step for pressing a parent material plate made of a conductive metal and punching out a prescribed shape; a second pressing step following the first pressing step, for bending the plate of prescribed shape, and forming a terminal provided with a box part onto the front surface of which opens a terminal insertion port into which a partner terminal is inserted, and a spring contact part arranged inside the box part; and a plating step following the second pressing step, for plating at least the spring contact part with a conductive metal.
Claims3
A terminal formed by pressing a parent material plate made of a conductive metal to punch out a prescribed shape and bending the plate of the prescribed shape to form the terminal, the terminal comprising:
- a box part onto a front surface of which opens a terminal insertion port into which a partner terminal is inserted;
- and
- a spring contact part arranged inside the box part, the spring contact part to be contacted to the partner terminal, inserted from the terminal insertion port into the box part, by a flexural returning force, wherein
- at least the spring contact part inside the box part is plated with a conductive metal by jetting plating liquid inside the box part using a nozzle,
- a face of the box part is provided with a plating-utility opening, the face facing the spring contact part, and
- at least the spring contact part is plated by jetting the plating liquid from the nozzle through the plating-utility opening.
