Electroplating Engineers of Japan, Limited, Tokyo, JP;
Abstract
This is a plating device for partially electroplating connector terminals at the tip, the target portions to be plated being a pair of forked portions of each connector terminal that are opposing to each other. In this partial plating device, a plating solution supply member to be inserted between the pair of target portions in the connector terminals comprises a support member, anode, net member and winding means. The support member has a top portion substantially forming an arrowhead with slanted guide planes on both sides. An opening is provided at or near the tip of this top portion to allow seepage of the plating solution. The net member covers the top portion of the support at its tip as well as the surface in its vicinity, the net member being freely wound up in the direction intersecting the passage line by the winding means and forming a supply section for the plating solution at a location corresponding to said passage line. With this construction, minute target portions are contacted with the plating solution which seeps on the net member while preventing the net member from being worn at given locations.
