Solder joint

Abstract

The present invention provides a highly reliable solder joint, the solder joint including a solder joint layer having a melted solder material containing Sn as a main component and further containing Ag and/or Sb and/or Cu; and a joined body including a Ni—P—Cu plating layer on a surface in contact with the solder joint layer, wherein the Ni—P—Cu plating layer contains Ni as a main component and contains 0.5% by mass or greater and 8% by mass or less of Cu and 3% by mass or greater and 10% by mass or less of P, the Ni—P—Cu plating layer has a microcrystalline layer at an interface with the solder joint layer, and the microcrystalline layer includes a phase containing microcrystals of a NiCuP ternary alloy, a phase containing microcrystals of (Ni,Cu)3P, and a phase containing microcrystals of Ni3P.
