EVALUATION METHOD

An evaluation method for evaluating a charging connector in coolability by connecting an evaluation jig to the charging connector, the charging connector including a pair of male terminals (11) coolable with a coolant, the evaluation jig including a pair of female terminals (100). The method comprises: connecting the pair of female terminals (100) to the pair of male terminals (11); adjusting a connection state between the male terminal (11) and the female terminal (100) such that contact resistance between the male terminal (11) and the female terminal (100) is 0.06 mΩ or more and 0.15 mΩ or less; and after the adjusting the connection state, evaluating the coolability depending on whether the male terminal (11) and the female terminal (100) have a temperature of 90°C or lower when a charging current of 400 A is supplied to the male terminal (11) and the female terminal (100) for 30 minutes.
