Abstract:
1. A method for producing a connector comprising: a first process that forms a contact unit, the contact unit having a plurality of rod-shaped contacts made of conductive material and a tying part, the plurality of contacts being tied at each axial direction middle part of the contacts by the tying part with the contacts arranged substantially parallel to each other, and a width surface of the contact which continuously unites with the other surfaces of the contacts through the tying part and a width surface of the tying part being substantially flat; a second process that forms a plating layer on a part of the contact unit by soaking the contact unit in a plating bath storing plating agents that have higher wettability than that of the contact unit from an axial direction one end side of the contact unit up to an axial direction middle part of the tying part; a third process that isolates the plurality of contacts by cutting the tying part; a fourth process that inserts a part where the plating layer is formed, of the each contact into a hole of an electronic circuit board; and a fifth process that solders the contacts to the electronic circuit board.
