Abstract
A terminal fitting having a smaller terminal insertion force than before. The terminal fitting includes a backing material made of a metal material and a plating coating covering a surface of the backing material. The plating coating contains a Sn parent phase and Sn—Pd based particles dispersed in the Sn parent phase and includes an outermost layer having an outer surface in which the Sn parent phase and the Sn—Pd based particles are present. Further, the number of the Sn—Pd based particles present in the outer surface of the plating coating in a state where only the Sn parent phase is removed is 10 to 400 Sn—Pd based particles per 500 μm.
