METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TERMINAL, AND TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a terminal that includes:
- an electrically conductive member that has an electrical connection, which is formed at an end portion of the electrically conductive member, wherein the electrical connection is connectable with an external electrical conductor; and
a seal film that is formed in a surface of a predetermined portion of the electrically conductive member, which is other than the electrical connection, the method comprising;
forming the electrically conductive member by processing a planar rod, which has a rectangular cross section, such that each of four corners of the rectangular cross section of a corresponding portion of the planar rod, which is other than an end portion of the planar rod, is rounded to form the predetermined portion of the electrically conductive member, while the end portion of the planar rod, which has the rectangular cross section, is made as the electrical connection;
coating a liquid seal agent on the predetermined portion; and
solidifying the liquid seal agent, which is coated on the predetermined portion, to form the seal film.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a terminal includes: an electrically conductive member that has electrical connections, which are respectively formed at end portions of the electrically conductive member, wherein the electrical connections are respectively connectable with a lead wire and a terminal of a Hall IC; and a seal film that is formed in a surface of an intermediate portion of the electrically conductive member. In the method for manufacturing, end portions of a planar rod having a rectangular cross section are respectively used as the electrical connections, and an intermediate portion of the planar rod is processed such that corners of the rectangular cross section are rounded. Thereafter, a liquid seal agent is coated on the intermediate portion. Furthermore, the coated liquid seal agent is solidified to form a seal film.
