Abstract
A method for fabricating a microconnector and the shape of terminals of the microconnector is proposed, which combines a cover with a base as a female connector, inserts an inserting member as a male connector between the cover and the base, and the ends of the terminals at the base electrically connecting the inserting member undergoing plasma treatment for controlling the shape thereof. The terminals of the microconnector can be actuated with by a low voltage. By such arrangement, the inserting member can be firmly engaged and the intervals between terminals and the overall size of the microconnector can be reduced while providing low insertion force and electrostatic actuating force.
