Abstract: An electrical terminal pin (20) is provided with a pin tip (22) for insertion into a mating electrical female terminal, a hole in a printed circuit board or the like. The pin has an electrically conductive core (24a) plated with an electrically conductive layer (24b). The pin tip is formed of a generally rounded pyramidal configuration defining four slightly curved convex sides (32, 57) joined at four edges (60) converging at a pin end. Two opposite sides (32) of the pin tip are non-plated. The other two opposite sides (57) of the pin tip are plated with the conductive layer. Portions (58) of the conductive plating layer overlap the edges (60) of the pin tip in a smooth or rounded configuration to eliminate any sharpness thereof and to provide additional plated areas over the exposed core material. The pin tip is formed by a cutting and coining operation to form the configuration of the tip and to coin the overlapping portions of the conductive plating layer over the sharp edges of the pin tip.
