Resin substrate

Abstract

A resin substrate is made of resin or a composite material containing resin. Pins each having the surface, on which Au plating is formed, are, with a soldering material made of Sn and Sb, soldered to a substrate body having a first main surface and formed into substantially a rectangular shape to project over the first main surface 2 A of the substrate body. Wettability of the soldering material for securing the pins and the substrate body to one another is relatively low as compared with that of a Pb—Sn soldering material. Therefore, the height of upward movement of the soldering material along the pin can be reduced. Hence it follows that the pins can sufficiently deeply be inserted into the socket so that the gap between the first main surface of the substrate body and the upper surface of the socket is reduced. As a result, the overall height realized after the substrate made of resin has been joined to the socket can be reduced

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A resin substrate comprising: 
 a substrate body made of resin or a composite material containing resin and formed into a plate-like shape which has a first main surface; and    a pin having a surface on which an Au-plated layer is formed;    wherein said pin is soldered to said substrate body with a soldering material comprising Sn and Sb so as to be projected over said first main surface of said substrate body.    
     
     
         2 . The resin substrate according to  claim 1 , wherein the height of said pin projecting over said first main surface is 2 mm or smaller.  
     
     
         3 . The resin substrate according to  claim 2 , wherein the thickness of said Au-plated layer of said pin is 0.04 μm or larger.  
     
     
         4 . The resin substrate according to  claim 2 , wherein the quantity of Sb contained in said soldering material is 15 wt % or smaller.  
     
     
         5 . The resin substrate according to  claim 3 , wherein the quantity of Sb contained in said soldering material is 15 wt % or smaller.  
     
     
         6 . The resin substrate according to  claim 2 , wherein said soldering material has a melting point of 280° C. or lower.  
     
     
         7 . The resin substrate according to  claim 3 , wherein said soldering material has a melting point of 280° C. or lower.  
     
     
         8 . The resin substrate according to  claim 1 , wherein said soldering material further comprises at least one of Ag, Bi, Au, Pb, In, Al, As.
