Abstract

A lead-free low-melting glass composition containing vanadium oxide, tellurium oxide, silver oxide and lithium oxide, said composition satisfying the following two relational expressions (1) and (2) in terms of oxides. [Ag 2 O]≥[TeO 2 ]≥[V 2 O 5 ]≥[Li 2 O]  (1) 2[V 2 O 5 ]≥[Ag 2 O]+[Li 2 O]≥40  (2) (In the formula, [X] represents a content of component X, and the unit thereof is “mol %”; the same applies hereinafter.) Thus, it is possible to provide a lead-free low-melting glass composition which enables sealing and adhesion at around the melting point (232° C.) of tin and which has high adhesiveness and stickiness.
