Abstract

The present invention relates to a Cu-Ni-Sn-P-based copper alloy sheet having a specific composition, where the texture of the copper alloy sheet is set to a texture such that the distribution density of B orientation and the sum of distribution densities ofB orientation, S orientation and Cu orientation each is set to fall in a specific range and bendability is thereby enhanced The Cu-Ni-Sn-P-based copper alloy sheet of the present invention is excellent in the properties required for a terminal or connector and further has excellent bendability.
