Abstract

Provided is a flux containing not less than 11.0 degrees and not more than 17.0 of a contact angle between the flux and a resist substrate on which the flux has been printed to have 1.0 mm of a diameter and 0.15 mm of a thickness when heating the resist substrate at 150 degrees C. for 30 seconds and cooling the resist substrate to a room temperature. The flux also contains more than zero seconds and not more than 2.0 seconds of a zero-cross time when heating a Cu plate at 150 degrees C. in a thermostat oven for 12 hours, applying the flux onto the baked Cu plate, and dipping the baked Cu plate onto which the flux is applied into a Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu alloy at a dipping speed of 15 mm/sec and by 2.0 mm of a dipped depth.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flux containing:
5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less of an organic acid, 13% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of an amine, 1% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less of a surfactant, 10% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less of a base agent, and 10% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of a solvent, wherein the amine has 700 or less of a molecular weight, the surfactant has more than 700 of the molecular weight, and the surfactant is any one selected from a group consisting of polyoxyalkylene alkylamine surfactant, polyoxyalkylene alkylenediamine surfactant, and polyoxyalkylene alkylenetriamine surfactant;
11.0 degrees or more and 17.0 degrees or less of a contact angle between the flux and a resist substrate on which the flux has been printed to have 1.0 mm of a diameter and 0.15 mm of a thickness when heating the resist substrate at 150 degrees C. for 30 seconds and cooling the resist substrate to a room temperature; and
more than zero seconds and not more than 2.0 seconds of a zero-cross time when heating a Cu plate at 150 degrees C. in a thermostat oven for 12 hours, applying the flux onto the baked Cu plate, and dipping the baked Cu plate onto which the flux has been applied into a Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu alloy at a dipping speed of 15 mm/sec and by 2.0 mm of a dipped depth.

2. The flux according to claim 1 , wherein the amine is at least any one selected from a group consisting of imidazoles, aliphatic amine, aromatic amine, aminoalcohol, polyoxyalkylene alkylamine, terminal amine polyoxyalkylene, amine halogenated hydroacid salt, and polyoxyalkylene amine.
