Abstract

A solder alloy essentially consists of tin, silver, copper, bismuth, antimony, and cobalt; relative to a total amount of the solder alloy, the silver content is 3 mass % or more and 3.5 mass % or less, the copper content is 0.4 mass % or more and 1.0 mass % or less, the bismuth content is 3.5 mass % or more and 4.8 mass % or less, the antimony content is 3 mass % or more and 5.5 mass % or less, the cobalt content is 0.001 mass % or more and 0.1 mass % or less, the tin content is the balance; and a total of the bismuth content and the antimony content is 7.3 mass % or more and 10.3 mass % or less.

Claims (20)

1. A solder alloy consisting of tin, silver, copper, bismuth, antimony, and cobalt, and optionally at least one element selected from the group consisting of nickel and indium, and no or a small amount of inevitable impurities, wherein

relative to a total amount of the solder alloy,

the silver content is 3 mass % or more and 3.5 mass % or less,

the copper content is 0.4 mass % or more and less than 0.6 mass %,

the bismuth content is 3.5 mass % or more and 4.8 mass % or less,

the antimony content is 3 mass % or more and 5.5 mass % or less,

the cobalt content is more than 0.008 mass % and 0.1 mass % or less,

the content of the at least one optional element selected from the group consisting of nickel and indium, if contained, is 0.2 mass % or less, and

the balance is the tin content; and

a total of the bismuth content and the antimony content is 7.3 mass % or more and 10.3 mass % or less.

2. The solder alloy according to claim 1 , wherein

a total of the bismuth content and the antimony content is 8.0 mass % or more and 10.3 mass % or less.

3. The solder alloy according to claim 1 , wherein

relative to a total amount of the solder alloy, more than 0 mass % and 0.2 mass % or less of the at least one optional element selected from the group consisting of nickel and indium is contained.

4. The solder alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the copper content is 0.5 mass % or more and less than 0.6 mass %.

5. The solder alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the cobalt content is more than 0.008 mass % and 0.03 mass % or less.

6. A solder paste containing a solder powder of the solder alloy according to claim 1 , and

a flux.

7. An electronic circuit board comprising

a portion soldered with the solder paste of claim 6 .
