PLATED WIRE ROD, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE PLATED WIRE ROD, AND METAL SQUARE WIRE CONNECTOR TERMINAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plated wire rod worked to a metal square wire connector terminal in which plating is applied to a base material including a conductive metallic material, capable of stably securing connection with an opposite party.SOLUTION: Provided is a plated wire rod in which metal plating 2 is applied to a base material 1 including a conductive metallic material. In the plated wire rod, cross sections being rectangular flat wire, and, in the distribution of the plating thickness within the side on the long side in the cross section of the plated wire rod, the ratio between the plating thickness (a) of the corner part and the plating thickness (b) of the central part, (a/b) being 0.9 to 1.4.
