[0003] Recently, with the electrification of automobiles, the number of poles of a connector used for a connection portion of an electric wiring is increasing, and the insertion force at the time of mating the connector tends to increase. As a result, the workability of the automobile assembly process is reduced, and there is a concern that the production efficiency may be reduced. In response to this, by controlling the thickness of the Sn plating (generally, the thinner the Sn plating layer, the smaller the friction coefficient becomes), a material having a reduced insertion force has been developed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-1998). No. 265992 and JP-A-2000-164279). On the other hand, due to the demand for space saving in the vehicle interior, the location of the connector is shifting from the room to the engine room. At that time, the ambient temperature in the engine room reaches a maximum of about 150 ° C., and the problem that the contact resistance of the terminal made of the current Sn plating material increases has become apparent.
When the contact resistance increases, there is a concern that the electronic control device malfunctions.

Therefore, as a method of improving the electrical reliability in a high-temperature atmosphere, a change in the type of the undercoat located under the Sn plating (Ag, Ni plating, etc.) is being studied. . This is because Cu alloy material and C
The Cu atoms in the u-underlying plating layer diffuse into the Sn or Sn alloy plating layer to form a Cu-Sn intermetallic compound, which reaches the plating surface layer in a short period of time in a high-temperature atmosphere, and has a contact resistance. Is increased. However, when the temperature of the connector installation location is about 150 ° C., oxidation of Sn plating, which is one of the causes of an increase in contact resistance, becomes remarkable regardless of the type of base plating. Therefore, it is difficult to suppress an increase in the contact resistance by changing the type of the base plating, which has been conventionally studied.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the above-mentioned Sn or Sn alloy plating material for terminals and connectors, when the thickness of Ni or Ni alloy plating as a base plating is less than 0.1 μm, the surface of Cu element in the copper alloy material is transferred to the surface. Therefore, corrosion products are formed on the surface of the sample after the salt spray test (see Examples), resulting in poor appearance. Note that the salt spray test is based on the assumption of salt water adhesion, such as when traveling on a coast by car, and is for confirming the reliability in that situation. On the other hand, Ni or Ni alloy plating thickness is 5μ.
If the thickness is larger than m, the Ni or Ni alloy plating film itself is hard, so that cracks occur in the material itself following the processing cracks of the plating film during terminal forming, and the bending workability is significantly reduced. Therefore, the thickness of the Ni or Ni alloy plating, which is the base plating, is 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less.

When the Ni or Ni alloy plating film contains hydrogen, the contact resistance value of the terminal after the high-temperature storage test can be kept low. This is because hydrogen in the Ni or Ni alloy plating film diffuses to the upper Sn or Sn alloy plating surface,
This is because there is an action of reducing the oxidized Sn or Sn alloy plating film. However, when the hydrogen content in the Ni or Ni alloy plating film was lower than 0.5 ppm, no improvement in the contact resistance after the high-temperature storage test (150 ° C. × 100 hr) was not observed. On the other hand, when the hydrogen content is higher than 5000 ppm, the plating current efficiency during Ni or Ni alloy plating is significantly reduced, the plating time is increased, and the Ni content is increased.
Alternatively, it is not practical because the Ni alloy plating film hardens and the bending workability decreases. Therefore, the hydrogen content in the Ni or Ni alloy plating film is 0.5 ppm or more and 5000 p
pm or less. From the viewpoints of improvement in contact resistance and practicality, it is more preferably in the range of 5 ppm or more and 500 ppm or less.

As a specific means for containing hydrogen in the Ni or Ni alloy plating film, as described above, a method of co-depositing hydrogen at the time of plating, that is, hydrogen generated on the cathode surface during plating is used. The method of taking in is used. In this case, electrolysis is performed under plating conditions that generate hydrogen, and the adjustment of the hydrogen content is performed by changing the bath composition (mainly pH), the current density, and the like. In addition, there is a method in which hydrogen is contained by bubbling during plating, or a method in which hydrogen is absorbed after plating. As the base plating, in addition to Ni plating, various Ni alloy platings that can contain hydrogen, such as Ni—Co and Ni—Fe, can be used. In any case, by containing hydrogen, it is possible to improve the electrical reliability after being left at a high temperature.

When the alloy plating thickness is less than 0.05 μm, nickel-containing sulfide is formed on the plating surface after the sulfurous acid gas corrosion test (see Examples), and the contact resistance is significantly increased.
The sulfurous acid gas corrosion test simulates the environment of an industrial area where sulfurous acid gas is generated as exhaust gas, and is for confirming the reliability in the environment. On the other hand, when the thickness of the Sn or Sn alloy plating is greater than 5 μm, there is no remarkable difference in the plating characteristics after being left at a high temperature, and the mass productivity is not excellent. Therefore, the Sn or Sn alloy plating thickness is 0.05 μm or more and 5
μm or less is preferred. Among them, when the Sn or Sn alloy plating thickness is 0.05 μm or more and 0.30 μm or less,
The coefficient of friction decreases. Therefore, particularly for a terminal material that requires low insertion force characteristics, this range of the plating thickness is desirable. The Sn or Sn alloy plating may be formed by any method such as electro-bright plating, reflow plating, and hot-dip plating. Further, as the Sn alloy, Zn,
One or two of Ni, Cu, Pb, Ag, In, and Bi
Alloys containing at least 0.05 to 40% by mass of the total of the seeds are included.
