An electronic component comprising: at least a contact member having, on a surface of a contact portion adapted to come into contact with another contact member, at least an undercoat plating layer and a main plating layer formed on the undercoat plating layer, wherein the contact portion further has a coating including a fluorine-based oil on at least the surface of the contact portion on the main plating layer that is formed by immersing, for one or more seconds, the contact member in a coating liquid containing a fluorine-based oil diluted with a solvent to the main plating layer and evaporating the solvent to form the coating on the surface of the contact member, the main plating layer is an Au-containing plating layer, and wherein in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.4 μm, the dry coating weight per unit area of coating on the main plating layer is greater than or equal to 0.011 mg/cm 2; in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.2 μm and less than 0.4 μm, the dry coating weight of the coating is greater than or equal to 0.04 mg/cm 2; in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.1 μm and less than 0.2 μm, the dry coating weight of coating is greater than or equal to 0.07 mg/ cm 2; and in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of less than 0.1 μm, the dry coating weight of the coating is greater than or equal to 0.25 mg/cm 2, wherein the dry coating weight is a coating build-up at room temperature of 25 C° and under atmospheric pressure that can be obtained by measuring a weight prior to applying the fluorine-based oil and a weight after the fluorine-based oil has been applied and dried, using a micro-balance, and subtracting the weight before application from the weight after the application, and dividing the weight difference by a surface area of the main plating layer whereon the fluorine-based oil is attached, the fluorine-based oil being a perfluoropolyether oil (PFPE oil). at least a contact member having, on a surface of a contact portion adapted to come into contact with another contact member, at least an undercoat plating layer and a main plating layer formed on the undercoat plating layer, wherein the contact portion further has a coating including a fluorine-based oil on at least the surface of the contact portion on the main plating layer that is formed by immersing, for one or more seconds, the contact member in a coating liquid containing a fluorine-based oil diluted with a solvent to the main plating layer and evaporating the solvent to form the coating on the surface of the contact member, the main plating layer is an Au-containing plating layer, and wherein in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.4 μm, the dry coating weight per unit area of coating on the main plating layer is greater than or equal to 0.011 mg/cm 2; in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.2 μm and less than 0.4 μm, the dry coating weight of the coating is greater than or equal to 0.04 mg/cm 2; in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of greater than or equal to 0.1 μm and less than 0.2 μm, the dry coating weight of coating is greater than or equal to 0.07 mg/ cm 2; and in a case where the main plating layer has a thickness of less than 0.1 μm, the dry coating weight of the coating is greater than or equal to 0.25 mg/cm 2, wherein the dry coating weight is a coating build-up at room temperature of 25 C° and under atmospheric pressure that can be obtained by measuring a weight prior to applying the fluorine-based oil and a weight after the fluorine-based oil has been applied and dried, using a micro-balance, and subtracting the weight before application from the weight after the application, and dividing the weight difference by a surface area of the main plating layer whereon the fluorine-based oil is attached, the fluorine-based oil being a perfluoropolyether oil (PFPE oil).
