Abstract: When electrodes of a BGA plated by electroless Ni plating are soldered with solder balls of a lead-free solder, peeling of soldered joints readily takes place under an external impact. When a BGA electrode plated by electroless Ni plating is soldered with a lead-free solder to which 0.03-0.1 mass percent of P is added, the growth of brittle SnNi intermetallic compounds formed on the portion being soldered and a P layer on the electroless Ni plating surface is suppressed, resulting in an increased bonding strength.

The sliding member 1 is provided a surface of the sliding layer 2 with uneven surface 6. The uneven surface 6 has the line-like projections 6a, vertexes of which are arranged in gridlike fashion, in the embodiment, to prevent an oil film from being formed and to make the dynamic friction force larger and keep the rate of change in the dynamic friction force in relation to the static friction force smaller. The sliding layer is configured so that a porous layer made of alloy material is formed on a surface of a metal substrate and the resin filled into the porous layer is sintered.
