Electrochemical cell
View Patent ↗An electrochemical cell capable of reflow soldering has a terminal for connection to a circuit board. The terminal is fixed to either the positive pole can or the negative pole can, and the bottom surface of the other pole can which is not fixed to the terminal is provided with a layer consisting of at least one of Au, Sn, Sn-alloy and Ni.
1. An electrochemical cell capable of reflow soldering comprising a terminal fixed to either the negative pole can or the positive pole can, and at least one of the group consisting of Au layer, Sn layer, Sn-alloy layer and Ni layer which is provided on the bottom surface of the can to which said terminal is not connected.
2. An electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , comprising a Sn layer or a Sn-alloy layer formed by plating on the bottom surface of a can to which said terminal is not connected.
3. An electrochemical cell according to claim 2 , wherein said terminal mounted on either one of the negative pole can and the positive pole can is bent to have a step of height which is larger than the mounted height of the elecrochemical cell.
4. An electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , further comprising a Ni layer or a Ni-alloy layer as a layer underlying said Au layer, said Sn layer or said Sn-alloy layer.
5. An electrochemcial cell according to claim 4 , wherein said Ni-alloy layer includes either B—Ni alloy, or P—Ni alloy.
6. An electrochemical cell according to claim 5 , wherein said terminal mounted on either one of the negative pole can and the positive pole can is bent to have a step of height which is larger than the mounted height of the electrochemical cell.
7. An electrochemical cell according to claim 4 , wherein said terminal mounted on either one of the negative pole can and the positive pole can is bent to have a step of height which is larger than the mounted height of the electrochemical cell.
8. An electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein said Sn-alloy layer includes any one of the group consisting of Bi—Sn alloy, Ag—Sn alloy, and Cu—Su alloy.
9. An electrochemcial cell according to claim 8 , wherein said terminal mounted on either one of the negative pole can and the positive pole can is bent to have a step of height which is larger than the mounted height of the electrochemical cell.
10. An electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein said terminal mounted on either one of the negative pole can and the positive pole can is bent to have a step of height which is larger than the mounted height of the electrochemical cell.
