ABSTRACT:
A male terminal metal fixture having a tab with a standard thickness is disclosed which is of high quality, although the fixture comprises a thin mother metal plate. The metal fixture is provided with a tab portion (6) which is folded so that each of longitudinal side edges is opposed to each other. The tab portion (6) is provided with an outwardly bulged area with a certain width (7) on the rear side along the opposed longitudinal side edges by means of a bulged process simultaneously with a bending process. Thus, the tab portion (6) can obtain a standard thickness. Moreover, the tab portion (6) is provided with an inward support projection (8) on the outwardly bulged area. The projection (8) prevents the tab portion (6) from being deformed at a hollow space defined by folded side edges (9) and the bulged area (7). Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a weight and a production cost of the male terminal metal fixture and to maintain the metal fixture to be of high quality.
