Abstract
Tin-plated copper-alloy material for terminal in which: a Sn-based surface layer is formed on a surface of a substrate made of Cu alloy, and a Cu—Sn alloy layer is formed between the Sn-based surface layer and the substrate; the Cu—Sn alloy layer is an alloy layer containing CuSnas a major proportion and having a compound in which a part of Cu in the CuSnis substituted by Ni and Si in the vicinity of a boundary face at the substrate side; an average thickness of the Sn-based surface layer is 0.2 μm or more and 0.6 μm or less; an oil-sump depth Rvk of the Cu—Sn alloy layer is 0.2 μm or more; an area rate of the Cu—Sn alloy layer exposed at a surface of the Sn-based surface layer is 10% or more and 40% or less; and dynamic friction coefficient is 0.3 or less.
