Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recent advancement in automotive electronic control systems is remarkable. Since the number of electronic control units and circuits used in these systems has increased, multi-pole connectors are used for wire harness. Due to the use of multi-pole connectors, the connector insertion force is so high that assembly operation couldn’t work. Therefore the development of the plating on the terminal which can lower the insertion force and coefficient of friction is increasingly required. We have developed a tin(Sn) alloy plating in order to reduce the friction coefficient of tin plating which is widely used in terminal, and succeeded in reducing the insertion force of terminals by restraining adhesive and abrasive wear.
