Abstract
A method for making a terminal includes forming a reinforcement enclosed around the pieces of the distal end of the terminal to combine and connect the pieces. Thus, the pieces of the distal end of the terminal are connected closely by the reinforcement to form a compact conic body without forming an opening in the distal end of the terminal, so that the distal end of the terminal has a greater structural strength, thereby preventing the distal end of the terminal from being broken or worn out due to mutual hit when the distal end of the terminal is inserted into a female terminal in a misalignment manner.
Claims2
A method for making a terminal, comprising:
- a) stamping a conductive metallic plate to form a terminal having a distal end provided with a plurality of pieces co-operating to form a conic shape;
- b) impregnating the distal end of the terminal into a conductive thermoplastic solution, so that the thermoplastic solution is attached onto a surface of the distal end of the terminal;
- and
- c) removing the distal end of the terminal from the thermoplastic solution, so that after the thermoplastic solution attached onto the surface of the distal end of the terminal is cooled and solidified, the distal end of the terminal is formed with a reinforcement enclosed around the pieces.
