Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of an optically active amino alcohol, particularly an optically active amino alcohol of a trans-form, being excellent in economy and efficiency, and suitable for industry using easily available and less expensive materials.

Abstract: The invention provides a solder-precipitating composition containing Sn-Pb alloy powder and an organic acid salt of Pb as essential components, and capable of precipitating solder as a result of substitution between Sn contained in the Sn-Pb alloy powder and Pb contained in the organic acid salt of Pb. Further, the invention provides a mounting method including the steps of supplying a conductor on a board with a solder-precipitating composition which contains Sn-Pb alloy powder and an organic acid salt of Pb as essential components, heating the solder-precipitating composition supplied on the conductor, to precipitate solder on the conductor and pre-coat the conductor with solder, as a result of substitution reaction between Sn in the Sn-Pb alloy powder and Pb ions in the organic acid salt of Pb, mounting a device on the solder pre-coated conductor, and melting the solder layer to securely mount the device on the conductor.

Abstract: A large number of pads, to which component leads are to be soldered, are formed on an insulating substrate so as to constitute a pad array. Colder layers are precoated on the pads. Each of the pads has a component lead mounting portion where a component lead is to be mounted, and a component lead non-mounting portion where no component lead is to be mounted. The component lead non-mounting portion includes a wide part having a width greater than that of the component lead mounting portion.
