Abstract;At Kobe Steel, the mass production of the electro tin plated copper alloy strips started in 1974. These have been used for terminals of electric parts in automobile, etc. The tin plating process has been continuously developed since 1974. At present, 3 kinds of tin plating are supplied to the market: electro bright tin plating, reflow tin plating, and reflow tin plating with a nickel barrier layer (TN plating). This paper presents the properties of each of these tin plating techniques as related to terminal usage. (author abst.)
