The solder material is core ball 1A which comprises spherical core 2A composed of Cu or a Cu alloy, and solder layer 3A coating core 2A, and wherein solder layer 3A has: a Cu content of 0.1 mass % or more and 3.0 mass % or less, a Bi content of 0.5 mass % or more and 5.0 mass % or less, a Ag content of 0 mass % or more and 4.5 mass % or less, and a Ni content of 0 mass % or more and 0.1 mass % or less, with Sn being the balance.

Abstract: A core material including a core and a solder plating layer of a (Sn—Bi)-based solder alloy made of Sn and Bi on a surface of the core. Bi in the solder plating layer is distributed in the solder plating layer at a concentration ratio in a predetermined range of, for example, 91.7% to 106.7%. Bi in the solder plating layer is homogeneous, and thus, a Bi concentration ratio is in a predetermined range over the entire solder plating layer including an inner circumference side and an outer circumference side in the solder plating layer.
