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 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.
