Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a fork contact to be manufactured with high production efficiency by punching a metal hoop material covered with a highly conductive material to form a chain of fork contacts and bending the end of each fork contact for use as a contact section. CONSTITUTION:A metal hoop material plated and covered with a highly conductive material is subjected to a punching process, thereby forming a chain of fork contacts 3 continuous to each other with a connecting strip 2. Thereafter, the end of each fork piece 4 of the contacts 3 is bent to form contact sections 5. According to this construction, a fork contact 1 can be manufactured consistently with high efficiency, without any need of reciprocating the contact 1 between a machining process and a plating process.

In this embodiment, a metal hoop material made of brass or the like is passed through a plating tank and both surfaces thereof are plated with silver, for example. The metal hoop material with the good conductive material layer is punched out to form a chain type fork contact 3 having a structure in which a large number of fork contacts 1 are connected by a connecting band 2 as shown in FIG.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1, a part of the tip of each fork piece 4 of each fork contact 1 is bent to form a contact portion 5. In this case, it is preferable that each contact portion 5 is provided with a projection 5a facing each other. According to such a chain type fork contact 3, the fork contact 1 can be automatically supplied corresponding to the automatic assembly of the connector. At the time of automatic supply, each fork contact 1 is separated from the connecting band 2.
