Abstract

A SnAgCuSb-based Pb-free solder alloy is disclosed. The disclosed solder alloy is particularly suitable for, but not limited to, producing solder joints, in the form of solder preforms, solder balls, solder powder, or solder paste (a mixture of solder powder and flux), for harsh environment electronics. An additive selected from 0.1-2.5 wt. % of Bi and/or 0.1-4.5 wt. % of In may be included in the solder alloy.
