Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing one of a male and female terminal having a low friction coating thereon, comprising the following steps:
- applying said low friction material to a metal plate in an area corresponding to a portion of said one terminal which first contacts another one of said terminals during interconnection of said terminals;
- baking said low friction material onto said area of said metal plate; and
- punching said metal plate into a shape corresponding to said one terminal.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said applying step includes the step of providing Teflon in said low friction material.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said punching step includes punching said metal plate into a plurality of interconnected terminals.
- 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of rolling said plurality of interconnected terminals on a roll.
- 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of bending said one terminal into a proper shape.
- 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of plating said metal plate with a plating.
- 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of plating said one terminal with a plating after said stamping step.
- 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said stamping step includes stamping said metal plate into a plurality of said one terminals which are thereafter applied with a low friction material which is baked thereon in said applying and baking steps.
- 9. A method of manufacturing one of a male and female terminal having a low friction coating thereon, comprising the following steps:
- providing a metal plate;
- stamping said metal plate into a shape corresponding to said one terminal;
- applying a low friction material to a portion of said one terminal which first contacts another one of said terminals during interconnection thereof; and
- baking said low friction material on said portion.
- 10. A method of manufacturing male and female terminals for use in high current applications, comprising the following steps:
- providing a male terminal having a first cable connecting portion and a first electrical connecting portion;
- applying a low friction material to an end portion of said first electrical connection portion and baking said low friction coating thereon;
- providing a female terminal having a second cable connection portion and a second electrical contact portion having a tubular shape; and
- forming a plurality of longitudinal slits in said second electrical contact portion so as to allow elastic outward expansion thereof for receiving said first electrical contact portion of said male terminal.
- 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of securing respective cables to said first and second cable connection portion.
- 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of introducing a conductive material into said first and second cable connection portions to improve the electrical contact between said respective cables and said terminals.
- 13. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of plating said male and female terminals with a plating.
