To plate isolated conductor parts on a printed circuit board, a method is used in which only the conductor part is crushed in an electroless plating solution using a metal resist, and then the resist is peeled off, but at a high temperature of 90C. Since the highly alkaline electroless plating solution originally dissolves conductive parts, careful attention is required to the immersion time, etc., which generally leads to lower yields and higher costs due to processing of plating waste liquid, etc. There is. In order to plate isolated conductor parts using the electrolytic plating method, a method is adopted in which a circuit is created in advance in which the conductor parts are connected to each other, and after plating, the conductor parts are isolated by bunching. There is. The present invention provides a plating method that does not require punching under this electrolytic plating method, which is a high-quality, low-cost plating method, and will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

(Effects) In short, the present invention brings the brush-shaped electrode (2) into contact with an object to be plated, which has an isolated conductor portion (8) on an insulator, and By moving the plated body and applying electrolytic plating using this brush-like electrode (2) as a cathode, it is possible to reliably electrolytically plate a minute conductive part (8), and even on the etched pattern. Can be easily plated. Particularly in the case of flexible printed circuit boards, conventionally a pattern was formed while being rolled up and then cut and plated with gold, but with the present invention, an electrolytic plating device is incorporated into one pattern forming line for continuous processing. It becomes possible. In addition, carbon fiber (1) has a relatively high resistance value, making it difficult for plating to adhere to it, and has appropriate rigidity and flexibility.
It is possible to reliably electrolytically plate the conductor portion (8) over a long period of time.
