<p>A method for manufacturing terminals is provided which can form press-fit engaging parts that can secure a necessary holding force without being affected by a clearance between terminals. The method for manufacturing terminals includes a first step in which a plurality of terminals (20) arranged in parallel to each other at a prescribed interval laterally in a row, while connected to a carrier (11), are collectively molded by press punching a sheet metal, and a second step after the first step in which press-fit engaging parts (22), which prevent the terminals from being pulling out when the terminals are press-fitted into press-fitting holes of a connector housing, are formed by applying a crushing pressure in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the direction of arranging the terminals, onto prescribed parts in the longitudinal direction of the terminals, and making parts at the side surfaces of the terminals to be locally and convexly bulged sidewards.</p> |
