Claim Text:
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 forming the electrically conductive member by processing an end portion of a rounded rod, which has a cross section having an arcuate shape, into a planar shape to form the electrical connection of the electrically conductive member while making a corresponding portion of the rounded rod, which is other than the end portion of the rounded rod, as the intermediate portion of the electrically conductive member; coating a liquid seal agent on the intermediate portion; and solidifying the liquid seal agent, which is coated on the intermediate portion, to form the seal film, wherein the coating of the liquid seal agent is executed after the forming of the electrically conductive member.
