Solder paste

摘要

A lead-free solder paste comprises an Sn-Zn based lead-free solder powder mixed with a flux. The flux contains at least one aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of aromatic carboxylic acids having one hydroxyl group in a meta position (such as 3-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid) and aromatic carboxylic acids having at least two hydroxyl groups (such as dihydroxynaphthoic acid or dihydroxybenzoic acid) in an amount of 0.1 - 10.0 mass%. The flux may further include 0.5 - 20 mass% of an aliphatic hydroxy carboxylic acid (such as hydroxyoleic acid).
