Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electric contact pair includes a first electric contact, and a second electric contact to be brought into electrical contact with the first electric contact. The first electric contact includes a first plating film made of Ag or a Ag alloy on its outermost surface, and the second electric contact includes a second plating film made of Rh or a Rh alloy on its outermost surface. The first plating film maybe layered on a first conductive base material, the second plating film maybe layered on a second conductive base material, and the first conductive base material and the second conductive base material are made of copper or a copper alloy, or aluminum or an aluminum alloy. A connector terminal pair includes a first terminal including the first electric contact, and a second terminal including the second electric contact.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A connector terminal pair to be used in a wire harness for an automobile, comprising: a first terminal having a first electric contact, and a second terminal having a second electric contact to be brought into electrical contact with the first electric contact, wherein the first electric contact comprises a first conductive base material, a first base plating film made of Ni or a Ni alloy layered on a surface of the first conductive base material, and a first plating film made of Ag or a Ag alloy on its outermost surface and layered on a surface of the first base plating film, and wherein the second electric contact comprises a second conductive base material, a second base plating film made of Ni or a Ni alloy layered on a surface of the second conductive base material, and a second plating film made of Rh or a Rh alloy on its outermost surface and layered on a surface of the second base plating film. 2. The connector terminal pair according to claim 1 , wherein the second plating film has a smaller thickness than that of the first plating film. 3. The connector terminal pair according to claim 1 wherein the first plating film is layered on a first conductive base material, the second plating film is layered on a second conductive base material, and the first conductive base material and the second conductive base material are made of copper or a copper alloy, or aluminum or an aluminum alloy. 4. The connector terminal pair according to claim 1 , wherein a friction coefficient between the first plating film and the second plating film is not more than half of a friction coefficient between Ag plating films. 5. The connector terminal pair according to claim 1 , wherein the first plating film is made of Ag and the second plating film is made of Rh.
