Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0762800A2] A lead frame (1) for an electroacoustic transducer, forming leads of the electroacoustic transducer, comprising a metal sheet (2) made of a metal having elongation 20% or higher, a nickel undercoat deposit (3) of a thickness in the range from 0.01 to 2.0 mu m formed on the metal sheet (2) by plating in a nickel plating bath containing no brightening agent, and a solder deposit (4) of a thickness in the range from 1.0 to 10 mu m formed on the surface of the nickel undercoat deposit (3) by plating in a tin-lead plating bath containing no brightening agent. With the lead frame (1) formed by plating the metal sheet (2) as stated above, micro-cracking occurring in the bent corners of the metal sheet (2) and the solder deposit (4), when the outer leads of the lead frame (1) are bent at an angle of 90 DEG , can be prevented. <IMAGE>
