Lead-free solder alloy and electronic circuit in vehicle

摘要

With the increasing density of in-vehicle electronic circuits, not only conventional cracks at bonding interfaces such as between the substrate and the solder attachment site or a component and the solder attachment site but also novel cracking problems of cracks occurring in the Sn matrix in the interior of the bonded solder have appeared. To solve the above problem, a lead-free solder alloy with 1-4 mass% Ag, 0.6-0.8 mass% Cu, 1-5 mass% Sb, 0.01-0.2 mass% Ni and the remainder being Sn is used. A solder alloy, which not only can withstand harsh temperature cycling characteristics from low temperatures of -40°C to high temperatures of 125°C but can also withstand external forces that occur when riding up on a curb or colliding with a vehicle in front for long periods, and an in-vehicle electronic circuit device using said solder alloy can thereby be obtained.
