Abstract: A liquid tank includes a liquid chamber for holding liquid and an absorption chamber containing an absorber for absorbing and holding the liquid. The liquid chamber and the absorption chamber are separated by a partition. The partition has a communication part allowing communication between the liquid chamber and the absorption chamber. The liquid chamber is substantially sealed except at the communication part. The absorption chamber has a liquid outlet and an air inlet. A liquid-guiding path is disposed on the bottom surface of the liquid tank. The liquid-guiding path extends from the communication part to a point a predetermined distance away from the liquid outlet.

Abstract: An ink tank is attachable to the attachment section by positioning first engagement sections at first fitting sections on the attachment section and then locking a second engagement section to a second fitting section of the attachment section by rotating the tank. The multiple supply ports are arranged on a bottom face of the tank such that the supply ports are on both sides of a center line in a width direction of the tank, and that distances between each of abutting centers configured to abut ink receiving parts of the attachment section, and the first engagement section side in a direction along a center line are mutually different. It is possible to avoid reception of a reactive force to the ink receiving parts at one time when rotating and attaching the tank, and to achieve stable attachment while suppressing excessive inclination of the tank at the time of attachment.

Abstract: A conductive ball is formed by coating a generally spherical-shaped core made of a non-metallic material with a coating layer composed of a Cu layer and an Sn-5.5Ag alloy layer of non-eutectic composition. The conductive ball is disposed on a land of an electronic component via flux and reflown at heating temperatures whose peak temperatures reach 250 to 260° C. The Sn-5.5Ag alloy of non-eutectic composition is put in the state in which a solidus portion and a liquidus portion coexist to keep flowability relatively small. The conductive ball is fixed on the land without exposing an SnCu layer formed on the Cu layer. An electrode is formed without exposing the SnCu layer having relatively poor solder wettability. Between the electronic component and a circuit board, a joint section having a good electric conduction property and mechanical strength may be formed.
