Description

本発明は、めっき材に関し、特に、車載用や民生用の電気配線に使用されるコネクタ、スイッチ、リレーなどの接点や端子部品の材料として使用されるめっき材に関する。 The present invention relates to a plating material, and more particularly to a plating material used as a material for contacts and terminal parts such as connectors, switches, and relays used for in-vehicle and consumer electrical wiring.

従来、コネクタやスイッチなどの接点や端子部品などの材料として、銅または銅合金などの比較的安価で耐食性や機械的特性などに優れた基材に、電気特性や半田付け性などの必要な特性に応じて、Sn、Ag、Auなどのめっきを施しためっき材が使用されている。 Conventionally, as a material for contacts and terminal parts such as connectors and switches, a relatively inexpensive base material such as copper or copper alloy, which has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, has necessary properties such as electrical properties and solderability. Depending on the situation, a plating material plated with Sn, Ag, Au or the like is used.

銅または銅合金などの基材にSnめっきを施したSnめっき材は、安価であるが、高温環境下における耐食性に劣っている。また、これらの基材にAuめっきを施したAuめっき材は、耐食性に優れ、信頼性が高いが、コストが高くなる。一方、これらの基材にAgめっきを施したAgめっき材は、Auめっき材と比べて安価であり、Snめっき材と比べて耐食性に優れている。 Sn-plated materials obtained by Sn-plating a base material such as copper or a copper alloy are inexpensive, but are inferior in corrosion resistance in a high-temperature environment. Further, the Au plating material obtained by subjecting these base materials to Au plating has excellent corrosion resistance and high reliability, but the cost is high. On the other hand, the Ag plating material obtained by subjecting these base materials to Ag plating is cheaper than the Au plating material and has excellent corrosion resistance as compared with the Sn plating material.

また、コネクタやスイッチなどの接点や端子部品などの材料は、コネクタの挿抜やスイッチの摺動に伴う耐摩耗性も要求される。 In addition, materials such as contacts and terminal parts such as connectors and switches are also required to have wear resistance due to insertion and removal of connectors and sliding of switches.

しかし、Agめっき材は、軟質で摩耗し易いため、接続端子などの材料として使用すると、挿抜により凝着して凝着摩耗が生じ易くなり、また、接続端子の挿入時に挿入力が高くなるという問題がある。特に、Agめっき材をワイヤーハーネスなどの挿抜可能なコネクタの材料として利用する場合に、繰り返しの挿抜によってAgめっき皮膜が削られて下地めっき皮膜や素地が露出すると、接触抵抗が増大して、発熱や発火に至るおそれがある。 However, since the Ag plating material is soft and easily worn, when it is used as a material such as a connection terminal, it is likely to adhere and wear due to insertion and removal, and the insertion force increases when the connection terminal is inserted. There's a problem. In particular, when the Ag plating material is used as a material for a connector that can be inserted and removed such as a wire harness, if the Ag plating film is scraped by repeated insertion and removal and the base plating film and the substrate are exposed, the contact resistance increases and heat is generated. And may lead to ignition.

このような問題を解消するため、導電性基材上に下地層としてAgめっき皮膜を形成し、この下地層の表面にAuめっき皮膜を形成し、Agめっき皮膜の{200}方位の面積分率を15%以上にしためっき材が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 In order to solve such a problem, an Ag plating film is formed as a base layer on the conductive substrate, an Au plating film is formed on the surface of the base layer, and the area fraction of the Ag plating film in the {200} direction is formed. A plating material having a value of 15% or more has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2014-181352号公報(段落番号0011)Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-181352 (paragraph number 0011)

しかし、特許文献1のめっき材は、コネクタやスイッチなどの接点や端子部品などの材料として使用すると、端子部品などの挿入時に凝着摩耗が生じて挿入力が高くなり易く、また、端子部品などの摺動に伴う耐摩耗性が不十分な場合がある。 However, when the plating material of Patent Document 1 is used as a material for contacts such as connectors and switches and terminal parts, adhesion wear is likely to occur when the terminal parts are inserted, and the insertion force tends to be high. Abrasion resistance due to sliding may be insufficient.

したがって、本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑み、基材上に形成されたAgめっき皮膜上にAuめっき皮膜が形成され、摩擦係数が低く且つ耐摩耗性に優れためっき材を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, in view of such conventional problems, the present invention provides a plating material in which an Au plating film is formed on an Ag plating film formed on a base material, a friction coefficient is low, and excellent wear resistance is obtained.

Further, the contact portion between the male terminal and the female terminal that are in contact with each other and the other terminal may be formed by the above-mentioned plating material.

It can be formed by performing electroplating (Ag plating) at a liquid temperature of 12 to 24 ° C. and a current density of 3 to 8 A / dm 2 .

Auめっき皮膜の厚さが薄過ぎると、めっき材をコネクタやスイッチなどの接点や端子部品などの材料として使用した場合に端子部品などの挿入時に凝着摩耗が生じ易くなるため、Auめっき皮膜の厚さは、0.01μm以上であるのが好ましく、0.03μm以上であるのがさらに好ましく、0.04μm以上であるのが最も好ましい。一方、Auめっき皮膜の厚さが厚過ぎると、めっき材のコストが高くなるため、Auめっき皮膜の厚さは、1μm以下であるのが好ましく、0.5μm以下であるのがさらに好ましく、0.3μmであるのが最も好ましい。また、Auめっき皮膜の厚さは、0.1μm以下でもよい。 If the thickness of the Au plating film is too thin, adhesive wear is likely to occur when the terminal parts are inserted when the plating material is used as a material for contacts such as connectors and switches and terminal parts.

(Ag plating) was performed in the above to form an Ag plating film having a thickness of 1 μm, and an Ag plating material was produced.

このAgめっき材のAgめっき皮膜の結晶の配向を評価するために、X線回折(XRD)分析装置(理学電気株式会社製の全自動多目的水平型X線回折装置Smart Lab)により、Cu管球、Kβフィルタ法を用いて、走査範囲2θ/θを走査して、得られたX線回折パターンから、Agめっき皮膜の{111}面、{200}面、{220}面および{311}面の各々のX線回折ピーク強度(X線回折ピークの強度)をJCPDSカードNo.40783に記載された各々の相対強度比(粉末測定時の相対強度比)({111}:{200}:{220}:{311}=100:40:25:26)で割ることにより補正して得られた値(補正強度)が最も強いX線回折ピークの面方位をAgめっき皮膜の結晶の配向の方向(優先配向面)として評価した。その結果、Agめっき皮膜の結晶が{111}面に配向({111}面をAgめっき材の表面(板面)の方向に向けるように配向)し、すなわち、Agめっき皮膜の優先配向面は{111}面であった。 In order to evaluate the crystal orientation of the Ag plating film of this Ag plating material, a Cu tube ball was used by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer (a fully automatic multipurpose horizontal X-ray diffractometer Smart Lab manufactured by Rigaku Denki Co., Ltd.). , The scanning range 2θ / θ was scanned using the Kβ filter method, and from the obtained X-ray diffraction pattern, the {111} plane, {200} plane, {220} plane and {311} plane of the Ag plating film were obtained.

When 10 gf was added for 10 seconds and the Vickers hardness of the Ag plating film was measured according to JIS Z2244, the Vickers hardness was 138 HV.

Silver strike plating was performed with a stirrer at 400 rpm at a current density of 2.5 Adm 2 , and an Ag plating solution consisting of an aqueous solution of 185 g / L of silver potassium cyanide, 120 g / L of potassium cyanide, and 18 mg / L of potassium selenocyanate. Of the Ag plating material before Au plating of the above plating material, except that an Ag plating film having a thickness of 2 μm was formed on the {200} surface of the preferential orientation surface using an Ag plating solution of (Se concentration 10 mg / L). A test piece cut out from an Ag-plated material manufactured by the same method as the manufacturing method) is used as a flat plate-shaped test piece, and this flat plate-shaped test piece is used as a horizontal load measuring instrument (an electric contact simulator manufactured by Yamazaki Seiki Laboratory Co., Ltd. and a stage). It is fixed on a horizontal table of a controller, a load cell, and a load cell amplifier), and the indented test piece is brought into contact with the flat plate-shaped test piece, and then the indented test piece is flattened with loads 2N and 5N, respectively. While pressing against the surface of the shape test piece, slide the flat plate-shaped test piece horizontally at a sliding speed of 1 mm / sec for a sliding distance of 5 mm, and apply a force applied in the horizontal direction between 1 mm and 4 mm (measurement distance 3 mm). The average value F was calculated by measurement, and the dynamic friction coefficient (μ) between the test pieces was calculated from μ = F / N. As a result, the dynamic friction coefficients at the loads of 2N and 5N were 0.42 and 0.47, respectively.
