A connector manufacturing method by which the manufacturing efficiency can be improved and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. This method includes the steps of: (a) forming plating parts and non-plating parts at desired parts on the front and back sides of a platy member; (b) plating with a metal the entire surface of the plate on which the abovementioned plating and non-plating parts have been formed; and (c) forming a desired conductive pattern on the entire surface of the platy member by removing the unnecessary plating layer on the edge face of the platy member.
