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.

A production method for a terminal, comprising:
- 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 punched in the prescribed shape, and forming the 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, the spring contact part to be contacted to the partner terminal which is inserted from the terminal insertion port into the box part by flexural returning force;
- and
- a plating step following the second pressing step, for plating at least the spring contact part with a conductive metal by jetting plating liquid inside the box part using a nozzle.
A terminal to be formed by pressing a parent material plate made of a conductive metal to punch out a prescribed shape and bending the plate of prescribed shape, the terminal comprising:
- 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, the spring contact part to be contacted to the partner terminal which is inserted from the terminal insertion port into the box part by 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.
