Connector terminal material and terminal for connector

Abstract

To provide a method of manufacturing a connector terminal material and a terminal for a connector to improve wear resistance and heat resistance. A connector terminal material of the present invention is provided with a base material in which at least a surface layer is made of copper or copper alloy and a silver-nickel alloy layer covering at least a part of a surface of the base material and having a film thickness of 0.5 μm or more and 50 μm or less; and nickel content of the silver-nickel alloy layer is 0.05 at % or more and 2.0 at % or less. Between the base material and the silver-nickel alloy layer, a nickel layer made of nickel or nickel alloy is provided; and a film thickness of the nickel layer is preferably 0.5 μm or more and 5 μm or less.
