Abstract: Provided is a lead-free solder alloy that has excellent tensile strength and ductility, does not deform after heat cycles, and does not crack. The In and Bi content are optimized and the Sb and Ni content are adjusted. As a result, this solder alloy has an alloy composition including, by mass, 1.0 to 7.0% of In, 1.5 to 5.5% of Bi, 1.0 to 4.0% of Ag, 0.01 to 0.2% of Ni, and 0.01 to 0.15% of Sb, with the remainder made up by Sn.

Abstract: Provided is a solder alloy having a composition suitable for soldering a module obtained by joining an aluminum substrate to a component wherein a main body, in which the area of an electrode on a side surface is not more than 30% of the total area of the side surface, is comprised of a ceramic. The solder alloy has an alloy composition comprising, in terms of mass %, 3-10% of Sb, 0-4% of Ag and 0.3-1.2% of Cu, with the remainder consisting of Sn. Furthermore, the alloy composition may contain, in terms of mass %, a total of 0.15% or less of one or more elements selected from among Ni and Co and/or a total of 0.02% or less of one or more elements selected from among P and Ge.
