[Prior Art] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, an LED is manufactured by die bonding a semiconductor chip 3 to a stem 2a of a lead frame 1, then wire bonding with a wire 4, and then resin molding with a resin 5. It is created by By the way, conventionally, pure iron (SPCC) has been mainly used as a material for LED lead frames. This is due to its low cost and good balance between strength and elongation properties. However, in SPCC, it is difficult to solder directly, so pre-treatment (Cu, N
Undercoat plating treatment such as i) is required, resulting in an increase in costs. Moreover, SPCC has a thermal conductivity of 6. 1 2cal/(cm-sec-'e)
It was found that because of its high conductivity (conductivity = 17% IACS), it was affected by heat during the LED assembly process or during the soldering work during use, causing the inherent problem that the LED light color became cloudy. Therefore, we investigated the conductivity that can prevent the color of LED light from becoming cloudy, and found that O. lcal/(cII-sec t
