To allow sure electric connection in a hinged joint without enlarging the hinged joint, and to facilitate attaching and detaching to the hinged joint, and to provide its manufacturing method.

In this slide contact terminal 1, two split electrodes 3 are provided along a circumferential direction in an outer circumference of an insulator 2, and two lead wire rods 4 are extended respectively from the electrodes 3. The insulator 2 is a resin molding of thermosetting resin or thermoplastic resin. A shaft hole 5 is formed in the insulator 2, and a hook part 6 is allowed to be formed, in a reverse face thereof, for hooking a shaft or the like inserted into the shaft hole 5. The plurality of wire rods 4 is flat planar metal pieces extended toward an outside of the insulator 2 in parallel each other, and each cross-sectional shape thereof is formed into a rectangular shape.
