Abstract
The connector terminal of the present invention is a connector terminal fabricated with a plated Cu alloy thin plate and is provided with a pair of mutually engaging male terminal 1 and female terminal 2; wherein, in a mutually sliding portion of the male terminal 1 and the female terminal 2, the Vickers hardness of one of the terminals is within the range of 60-700 HV, the Vickers hardness of the other terminal is within the range of 20-150 HV, and the difference between the Vickers hardness values of both is 15 HV or more. As a result, together with having stable contact resistance, both low insertion and removal force as well as superior heat resistance can be obtained.
