Patent number: 11171428Abstract: A terminal metal part is provided which can suppress changes in characteristic regarding the connection while suppressing galvanic corrosion. In the terminal metal part, a tin plating layer is formed thicker in a crimping region with a conductor crimping lug than in an electric connecting region contactable with a mating terminal. With this, it is difficult for the conductor section and an alloy section as a base under the tin plating layer in the crimping region to come into a direct contact with each other, which can suppress galvanic corrosions. Furthermore, forming the tin plating layer can have less influence in the electric connecting region and changes in characteristics regarding the connection to the mating terminal can be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Seiko Maehori, Hirohito Nakata
