EVALUATION METHOD

An evaluation method is 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) and a bottom wall (16), the evaluation jig including a pair of female terminals (100), the pair of female terminals (100) being connected to the pair of male terminals in evaluating the charging connector in coolability. The method comprises: connecting the pair of female terminals (100) to the pair of male terminals; and adjusting a connection state of the male terminal and the female terminal (100) so that contact resistance between the male terminal and the female terminal (100) falls within a prescribed range. In the step of adjusting, a resistance between a point of 4.5 mm of the male terminal from a surface (16S) of the bottom wall and a point of 43 mm of the female terminal (100) from the surface (16S) of the bottom wall is measured as the contact resistance.
