ABSTRACT:
A plated material reduces insertion and withdrawal forces when used in a connector. A terminal member for a connector and a connector therewith are also provided. The plated material comprises a substrate3made of Cu or a Cu alloy and a metal plating layer6formed on the surface of the substrate3. A soft region6A spreading in a network-shape and a hard region6B surrounded by the network of the soft region6A coexists in the metal plating layer6. The soft region6A has a Vickers hardness of 20 to 250, while the hard region6B has a Vickers hardness of 60 to 700, which is at least 30 higher than that of the soft region6A. An average size of the network of the soft region6A is from 5 to 500 μm.
