A method for producing a connector has first to fifth processes. In the first process, a contact unit having a plurality of contacts and a tying part, is formed with the contacts tied at each axial direction middle part of the contacts by the tying part and with the contacts arranged parallel to each other. In the second process, a plating layer is formed on a part of the contact unit by soaking the contact unit in a plating bath from an axial direction one end side of the contact unit to an axial direction middle part of the tying part. In the third process, the contacts are isolated by cutting the tying part. In the fourth process, a part where the plating layer is formed, of the contact is inserted into a hole of a circuit board. In the fifth process, the contacts are soldered to the circuit board.
