Lowering the inserting force of connectors is one of the most important subjects for automobile electronics industries. In this study, tin plating factors related to the friction coefficient, a material which is widely used for such terminals, are studied. Results show that a thinner pure tin layer combined with increased intermetallic compounds helps decrease the friction coefficient. And when the plane (112) of beta-Sn is highly oriented to the frictional surface, the friction coefficient also decreases. Furthermore, plating materials such as nickel, silver and zinc were found to be effective in reducing the friction coefficient on female terminals.
