Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5 (93) -82201 published April 2, 1993 discloses that copper or copper alloy is anodized with an oxidizing solution to prevent a solder bridge, thereby forming a copper oxide film. It is described to form. In this known example, phosphor bronze having a thickness of 0.2 mm and a width of 20 mm is a material, and a non-processed portion is covered with a masking tape, coated with a photoresist, or covered with a rubber-like mask or the like, and selectively processed to have a width. 4mm band gold plating and 10m width
Then, a copper oxide film is formed by anodic oxidation by applying a band-shaped solder plating of m, and applying a masking tape or applying a photoresist, or covering a required portion with a rubber-like mask. However, in the case of the ultra-small electronic components to which the present invention is applied, such a method is cumbersome and cannot be used.

As described above, in the contacts of the conventional electric connector, gold plating and plating for soldering are separately applied to the contact portion and the terminal portion. However, with the recent miniaturization of electronic devices, miniaturization of electrical connectors is also required, and accordingly, the contact, which is a component thereof, is becoming smaller. The present invention is particularly applicable to ultra-small electrical components having a contact length of several millimeters (mm).

[0005] Therefore, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional gold-plated and solder-plated contacts, when the terminal portions of the contacts are electrically connected to the terminal portions of the substrate circuit by, for example, surface mounting technology, the substrate side is not connected. The molten solder from the solder or the molten solder of the solder plating applied to the terminal part itself wets or flows to the contact part of the contact through the terminal part of the contact and contaminates the gold-plated part of the contact part. There was a problem of doing it. Conventionally, if a nickel layer is provided between the gold-plated contact portion and the solder-plated terminal portion, the molten solder may move to the contact portion during the surface mounting process. Has been found to be able to prevent this and has been implemented.

However, in order to prevent the molten solder from wetting or flowing, a certain width is required for the nickel layer. For contacts whose length (total length) is about 5 mm or less, it is necessary to secure a nickel layer with a width that can reliably prevent the molten solder from getting wet or flowing.
It becomes difficult in terms of space. For this reason, the fact is that the above-described function of the nickel layer for preventing the movement of the molten solder cannot be effectively utilized.

However, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic component having a layer capable of effectively preventing the wetting or flowing of another portion such as a contact portion, that is, a contact having a solder movement preventing portion.

Further, in the contact 1 of the present invention, the rod-shaped portion serving as the terminal portion 2 is plated with solder, and the portion serving as the contact portion 3 is usually plated with gold or the like. The nickel oxide layer 4 is formed between the solder plating portion of the terminal portion 2 and the gold plating portion of the contact portion 3. In forming the nickel oxide layer 4, a nickel layer is provided in advance. This nickel layer
Before applying the plating for soldering to the terminal portion 2 and the gold plating to the contact portion 3, a base is provided on a corresponding portion thereof or in a range from the terminal portion 2 to the contact portion 3 of the contact 1.

The width L of the nickel oxide layer 4 in the length direction of the contact 1 is 0.2 mm or more. here,
When the width is less than 0.2 mm, the gold plating treatment liquid is applied to the contact portion 3 when the width is less than 0.2 mm. Infiltration into the nickel layer portion contaminates the nickel layer portion (gold may be deposited). If the nickel layer portion is contaminated, the nickel layer portion is not converted into nickel oxide satisfactorily and a desired nickel oxide layer portion is formed. 4 cannot be obtained. In other words, if the oxidation of the nickel layer is insufficient, this causes the terminal portion 2 of the contact 1 to be soldered to a predetermined portion of the substrate in a subsequent step such as a surface mounting process. When the soldering plating of the terminal portion 2 is solder plating mainly from the side, the solder including the molten solder is wetted to the contact portion 3 side through the terminal portion 2 and flows to move the solder. This is because the blocking function is reduced.

55000 °. Here, if the thickness of the underlying nickel layer is less than 0.5 μm, the underlying metal surface may be partially exposed, and the effect of preventing the solder from wetting or flowing may be impaired. On the other hand, if the thickness is too large as several μm, the effect of preventing the solder from wetting and flowing does not necessarily improve so much, and considering the material cost, the thickness is about 0.5 to 3 μm.

According to the present invention, by selecting the processing solution and the processing conditions as described above, undesirable plating contamination, that is, splashes of gold plating or the like adhere to places where the solder must originally be repelled. It becomes a thin contaminant, and if left as it is, it is possible to remove contamination that cannot prevent wet-up during soldering, and at the same time, oxidization becomes possible.

In the present invention, an anodic oxidation method using the above alkaline solution as a main component is used. The reason is that, for example, in the plating step for soldering the terminal section 2 or the gold plating step of the contact section 3, the gold plating treatment liquid bleeds into the underlying nickel layer portion, and a thinly deposited gold layer is formed during the anodic oxidation step. This is because these undesired gold platings are removed because they are eluted into the anodizing solution, a nickel oxide layer surface with high purity is obtained, and the effect of preventing solder wetting and flowing is enhanced.

According to the present invention, as described in detail above, in an electronic component such as an electric connector, a component for soldering at the time of a mounting process and the like, and a component extending continuously from the component. It has a member (a contact or the like) in which a nickel oxide layer portion is provided between other components, and this nickel oxide layer portion has a higher height even with a small width (area) as compared with a conventional simple nickel layer. Since the function of preventing the movement of the molten solder is obtained, even if the above-mentioned member is as small as about 5 mm or less, it is possible to effectively prevent the molten solder from getting wet or flowing in the surface mounting step or the like. In other words, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an extremely small electronic component in which the movement of the molten solder could not be controlled well in the prior art.

In addition, in the present invention, the Ni surface can be oxidized while removing a very thin film (contaminant) of plating. Here, the very thin film of plating is
A plating (eg, gold plating, palladium plating, solder plating, etc.) different from Ni plating on a place where plating should not be applied (a place where solder must be repelled). When the contact becomes extremely small, the plating between the contact portion and the tail portion is very close to each other, so that the plating of the contact portion or the tail portion is apt to be applied to the intermediate portion, and the contact portion is contaminated.

This principle is based on the principle that nickel plating is easily oxidized and tends to repel solder. However, if a thin film of the above-mentioned plating is deposited on the nickel surface, nickel itself is not oxidized and the plating film is not oxidized. Are combined. When this part comes into contact with the heated and melted solder, the thin film of this plating diffuses into the solder, and this phenomenon causes the solder and nickel to combine and become wet, which is an undesirable result. The present invention also has the effect of removing the contaminated plated portion in the oxidation step as described above.
