Method for producing male terminal fittings and terminal fitting

摘要

Male terminal fittings (1) are produced by press-cutting a flat base plate (8) to form original forms (9) of terminal fittings with base ends (5) forming plated surfaces (13) on the outer surfaces of the original forms (9). Only one layer of plating is formed on all the surfaces of the base ends (5) as the plated surface (13). The method then includes press-cutting a leading end of the base plate (8) to form leading ends (4).
