There is provided a silver-plated product which has good thermal resistance, bendability and wear resistance. In a silver-plated product wherein a surface layer of silver having a thickness of 10 μm or less is formed on a base material of copper or a copper alloy, the full-width at half maximum of a rocking curve on a preferred orientation plane (preferably {200} or {111} plane) of the surface layer is caused to be 2 to 8°, preferably 3 to 7°, to improve the out-of-plane orientation of the surface layer to improve the thermal resistance, bendability and wear resistance of the silver-plated product. |
