Title:
PLATED TERMINAL FOR CONNECTOR, AND TERMINAL PAIR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/034460
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a plated terminal for a connector and a pair of terminals for a connector having a tin layer on an outermost surface, wherein both of the reduction of a terminal insertion power and the reduction of a contact resistance are achieved. This plated terminal for a connector has a coating layer that contains tin and a hard metal that is a metal harder than tin at a contact point portion at which the plated terminal is in contact with another conductive member, and the contact point portion includes both of an area where tin is exposed on the outermost surface and an area where the hard metal is exposed on the outermost surface, or alternatively, includes an area where the hard metal is covered with a tin layer having a thickness smaller than in the other areas. For example, a tin layer may be formed on a surface of a base material having a projection-recess structure, with a hard metal layer being formed on the surface, whereby such a material can be obtained.
