METALLIC MATERIAL FOR CONNECTOR AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE METALLIC MATERIAL FOR CONNECTOR

摘要

A metallic material for a connector, having a base material of a bar material or a rectangular wire material formed of copper or a copper alloy, in which a striped copper-tin alloy layer is formed in the longitudinal direction of the metallic material on a part of the surface of the metallic material, and in which a tin layer or a tin alloy layer is formed on the remaining part of the surface of the metallic material; and, a method of producing a metallic material for a connector, containing: providing a bar material or a rectangular wire material of copper or a copper alloy as a base material; forming a tin plating layer or a tin alloy plating layer on the base material, to obtain an intermediate material; and subjecting the intermediate material to reflow treatment in a stripe form in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate material.
