Abstract: It is aimed to provide a terminal fitting (1) in which thick plating films can be formed on necessary parts without requiring particularly complicated plating. The terminal fitting (10) includes a tubular connecting portion (11) into which a mating male terminal (60) is insertable. The connecting portion (11) includes a plurality of resilient pieces (14) circumferentially divided via expanding slots (13) extending from a tip. Thick film portions (22) with a thicker plating film than in other parts are provided on inner surfaces of the plurality of resilient pieces (14) and contact areas (17) capable of contacting the male terminal (60) are provided on these thick film portions (22). The thick film portions (22) and the contact areas (17) are arranged continuously in a circumferential direction except at the positions of the expanding slots (13) on an inner surface of the connecting portion (11) near a tip.

Abstract: A shielded connector achieving sufficient contact load between a shielded conductor and a crimp portion of an outer conductor shell without influence such as deformation of cross sections on signal wires when the crimp portion is crimped onto the conductor, and enhanced pull-out strength of a shielded cable against the shell. The shell includes a tubular connection portion having an arc-shaped cross section and arranged to be inserted into the conductor end portion exposed by stripping off a sheath portion at the cable end portion, shielded conductor crimping portions opposed to the connection portion and arranged to be crimped onto the conductor end portion into which the connection portion has been inserted, and fitting spaces provided to an inside of the conductor crimping portions at positions opposed to the tubular connection portion. Upper ends of the connection portion and the conductor are inserted into the spaces during crimping process.

Abstract: A soft magnetic material includes a composite magnetic particle and an organic substance. The composite magnetic particle has a metallic magnetic particle and a coating layer coating the metallic magnetic particle and containing an oxide therein. The organic substance is formed by adding at least one of a thermoplastic resin and a higher fatty acid having an effect of increasing resistivity of the material, to a non-thermoplastic resin having an effect of improving durability such as material fatigue limit. The organic substance is contained in the soft magnetic material by not less than 0.001% by mass and not more than 0.2% by mass. The present invention provides a soft magnetic material having high magnetic property and mechanical strength and also having fatigue property and resistivity satisfying durability enough for use as a motor core or the like, and a method for manufacturing the same. Further, the invention provides a motor core and a transformer core made of the soft magnetic material.

Abstract: A diamond film is deposited in the thickness of 20 &mgr;m on a silicon wafer 0.8 mm thick by filament CVD. Here the hydrogen content of the diamond film is adjusted in the range of not less than 1% nor more than 5% in atomic percent. By mechanical polishing with a grinding wheel including diamond abrasives, the diamond film is smoothed so that the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the surface thereof becomes not more than 20 nm.
