Abstract

Provided is a thinner Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil that has a foil thickness of 0.1 mm or less, has improved solder wettability and improved solder adhesion strength, and can be suitably used as a conductive spring material for use in electronic device parts such as autofocus camera modules; a copper rolled product; an electronic device part; and an autofocus camera module. The Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil according to one embodiment of the present invention has a foil thickness of 0.1 mm or less; and contains from 14% by mass to 22% by mass of Ni, from 4% by mass to 10% by mass of Sn, the balance being copper and inevitable impurities; and has a 60-degrees glossiness G60 RD of from 200 to 600 on a surface as measured in a direction parallel to a rolling direction.

Claims (7)

1. A Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil having a foil thickness of 0.1 mm or less, the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil comprising: from 14% by mass to 22% by mass of Ni; and from 4% by mass to 10% by mass of Sn; the balance being Cu and inevitable impurities; and the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy having a 60-degrees glossiness G60 RD of from 200 to 600 on a surface as measured in a direction parallel to a rolling direction.

2. The Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil according to claim 1 , wherein the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil has a tensile strength of 1100 MPa or more in a direction parallel to the rolling direction.

3. The Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil according to claim 1 , wherein the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil has a total content of Mn, Ti, Si, Al, Zr, B, Zn, Nb, Fe, Co, Mg, and Cr of from 0% by mass to 1.0% by mass.

4. A copper rolled product comprising the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil according to claim 1 .

5. An electronic device part comprising the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil according to claim 1 .

6. The electronic device part according to claim 5 , wherein the electronic device part is an autofocus camera module.

7. An autofocusing camera module comprising: a lens; a spring member for elastically biasing the lens to an initial position in an optical axis direction; and an electromagnetic driver configured to generate electromagnetic force for withstanding a biasing force of the spring member so that the lens can be driven in the optical axis direction, wherein the spring member comprises the Cu—Ni—Sn based copper alloy foil according to claim 1 .
