Abstract:
A method of manufacturing substrate-use terminals in which substrate-use terminals each has at one end thereof a connector-side terminal portion for connection to a connector and at another end thereof a substrate-side terminal portion for connection to a substrate, comprising the steps of:providing a plurality of rectangular wire units connected in series in a longitudinal direction, wherein said rectangular wire units, are used to form said substrate-use terminals; providing a plurality of loss portions connected in between said rectangular wire units each loss portion having a first end connected to a tip portion of said. connector side-terminal portion and a second end connected to a tip portion of said substrate-side terminal portion; subjecting said rectangular wire units to a shaping operation; and cutting off said loss portion to form said substrate use terminals after the completion of at least one machining operation.
