Description of the Related Art Along with miniaturization and weight reduction of a video, a printer, and the like, a flat cable having an excellent space factor has been widely used. The flat cable has a structure in which a plurality of flat conductors are sandwiched between insulator films in a sandwich shape. Due to the demand for high-density wiring, the pitch between the flat conductors is as small as 0.5 mm or less. Are also used.

必要がある。The flat conductor is required to be hardly corroded and to have good solderability.
Therefore, tin plating is applied. However, in the case of the narrow pitch as described above, there is a fear that a short circuit between adjacent conductors occurs due to generation of a whisker-like crystal called a whisker by tin plating. It is well known that lead is added to tin to prevent whiskers. However, lead is highly toxic, and adding lead is not desirable in terms of environmental measures. Must be prevented.

Then, it was found that if the metal structure of tin plating is a specific structure, that is, a structure having crystal grains having a ratio of major axis / minor axis of 3 or more, it is effective in preventing whiskers without adding lead. The present invention has been completed.

m, a flat conductor having a tin plating thickness of 1 μm was prepared. Using this conductor as it was, a flat cable of 0.5 mm pitch was produced, and the observation near the conductor was continued.
One week later, whiskers were observed.

While the film was wound around the other end, it was brought into contact with a pair of roller-shaped electrodes, and heat treatment was performed in which a predetermined current was applied to the conductor between the roller-shaped electrodes. At a distance of 30 cm between the roller-shaped electrodes and a winding speed of the flat conductor of 60 m / min, the current flowing between the roller-shaped electrodes was set at 15 A. ,continue,
As a result of air cooling of about 2 m, the tin-plated layer became a metal layer containing crystal grains having a major axis / minor axis ratio of 3 or more and a major axis of 10 μm or more, as shown in FIG.

An m-pitch flat cable was produced. Then, as in the case where the conductor without heat treatment was used, observation near the conductor was continued, but no whisker was observed.

立てることが出来る。As described in the description of the embodiments, a tin-plated flat conductor having crystal grains having a major axis / minor axis ratio of 3 or more, even though there is no addition of lead to tin. No whiskers were found. Therefore, when used in a flat cable, there is no problem of whiskers being generated, and it means that a flat conductor having no environmental problems has been obtained. This can be used for high-density wiring of electronic devices.
