Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an electrode-providing connecting device provided on an electronic component such as an ic package, particularly for an electrode which is suitable for being formed of a bismuth-containing alloy. Ground contact connection device. [Prior Art] In the following Patent Document 1, a connecting device having a plurality of helical elastic arms is disclosed. On the bottom surface of the electronic component such as the 1C package, a plurality of spherical protruding electrodes are provided, each protruding electrode is pressed on the elastic arm, and the protruding electrode and the elastic arm are respectively connected in a one-to-one relationship. The spiral elastic arm described in Patent Document 1 has a three-dimensional shape that protrudes toward an electronic component. When the electronic component is placed on the connecting device, the elastic arm is pressed and deformed by the protruding electrode, and the elastic arm is at this time. The effect of the elastic restoring force is pressed on the above protruding electrodes. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] The spiral elastic arm described in Patent Document 1 is formed of a conductive material such as copper. Further, in order to reduce the contact resistance between the elastic arm and the protruding electrode, a gold layer is generally formed on the outermost surface of the elastic arm by plating or the like. However, the gold layer formed on the surface of the elastic arm is difficult to oxidize, so its surface energy is maintained at a high level. Therefore, if the protruding electrode formed of the tin-containing alloy is pressed against the elastic arm, the gold will diffuse into the protruding electrode 123323.doc 200830649, thereby easily forming an intermetallic compound of gold and tin. In particular, in the state where the protruding electrode is in contact with the elastic arm, if the ambient temperature reaches a loot: or more or 150 ° C or more, the formation of an intermetallic compound is promoted. For example, in the state where the tin-containing solder is in contact with the contact member, the thickness of the intermetallic compound may reach about 5 〇 • μπι in 300 (the environment of rc). □ For example, if A connecting device having the above-mentioned elastic arm is used for a private inspection device of an Ic et al., and an electronic component having a tin-containing protruding pole is repeatedly mounted, and then each electronic component is subjected to a heating inspection, and then the bomb is fired. The above-mentioned intermetallic compound and the tin alloy associated with the compound are easily deposited on the surface of the twins. When the intermetallic compound and the tin alloy are oxidized, the surface resistance of the bomb is increased, and thus the function as a contact element will be Since the intermetallic compound of tin and gold is hard, the intermetallic compound deposited on the elastic arm is liable to damage the protruding electrode. The present invention has been developed to solve the above problems. It is to provide a connecting device that does not deposit an intermetallic compound on the contact member even if the tin-containing electrode is repeatedly contacted, and can make the contact element The contact resistance of the surface is also low. [Technical means for solving the problem] The present invention is a connecting device which is provided with an electronic component having a plurality of electrodes at the bottom, and is characterized in that a plurality of connecting portions are provided The plurality of connecting portions are connected to the electrode formed of a tin-containing alloy, and each of the '° is provided with a conductive elastic ball 123323.doc 200830649 elastic arm which is elastically pressed by the electrode, and the elastic arm has conductivity a core portion and a coating layer covering the surface of the core portion such that contact resistance between the elastic arm and the electrode is lowered. The coating layer is formed of a platinum group metal layer. In the present invention, The coating layer on the surface of the elastic arm is a platinum group metal layer, so the contact resistance with the electrode is small. Moreover, when the electrode formed of the tin-containing alloy contacts the elastic arm, the platinum group metal layer is difficult to diffuse into the electrode, and thus is elastic. It is difficult to form an intermetallic compound between the arm surface and the electrode. The film thickness of the platinum group metal layer of the present invention is 〇1 μm or more and 2 or less. More preferably, 5 μπι or less. When the film thickness of the platinum group metal layer is within the above range, the platinum metal-free layer can sufficiently exhibit a function of lowering the contact resistance with the electrode. This month, a thickness can also be formed on the surface of the platinum group metal layer. It is a gold layer of μ6 μπι or less. A gold layer is formed on the outermost surface of the elastic arm, thereby making the contact resistance with the electrode smaller. X, if the film thickness of the gold layer is within the above range, although the gold direction : In-pole diffusion, but the intermetallic compound of tin and gold formed by diffusion is very small, so there is no case where the previous accumulation is large. In the present invention, the core is made of copper or copper alloy and nickel or Further, at least one of the nickel alloys is formed. Further, the present invention is effective in the inspection of mounting and detaching the electronic component having the electrode on the connecting portion. In this case, it is effective to install the electronic component. The temperature rises in the state to check the internal circuit of the electronic component. 123323.doc 200830649 When the connecting device of the present invention is used for inspection, even if the electrode formed of the tin-containing alloy repeatedly contacts the elastic arm, the intermetallic compound can be prevented from being accumulated on the elastic arm. The present invention is preferably a platinum group metal layer-based palladium plating layer, whereby an electroless plating layer can be realized. When palladium is used, a thin coating layer can be effectively formed on the surface of the elastic arm. [Effects of the Invention] When the contact device of the present invention has a small contact resistance with an electrode and the electrode formed of the tin-containing alloy is in contact with each other, it is difficult to deposit an intermetallic compound between the surface of the elastic arm and the electrode.

Fig. 5 is a view in which the cross section of the elastic arm 22 which is shown in the figure is further enlarged. The film thickness t1 of the coating layer % is 0.1 (four) or more and 2 μm or less, and preferably 〇 $ (four) or less. If it is in this range, the contact resistance with the electrode of the electronic component can be reduced, and it can be constructed at low cost. That is, the coating layer 33 is used to lower the contact resistance of the surface, and the film thickness of the coating layer 33 is 1/1 or less and further less than 1/loo with respect to the film thickness of the elastic arm. As shown in FIG. 2, an electronic component 40 is provided on the connection device 1. The electronic component 40 is a 1C package or the like, and various electronic components such as an IC bare crystal are sealed in the main body portion 41. A plurality of protruding electrodes 42 are provided on the bottom surface 41a of the main body portion 41, and each of the protruding electrodes 42 is electrically connected to a circuit in the main body portion 41. The protruding electrode 42 of the electronic component 40 of the present embodiment has a spherical shape. Further, the protruding electrode "may be a truncated cone shape or the like. The protruding electrode 42 is formed of a conductive alloy containing tin, that is, a solder containing no lead, and is a tin-bismuth alloy or a tin-silver alloy. The connection device 1 of the form is a connection device for inspection of the electronic component 40. As shown in Fig. 1, the electronic component 40 as the inspection object is mounted in the recess of the base 123323.doc • 12-200830649 ί. At this time, the electronic component 40 is positioned such that each of the protruding electrodes 42 provided on the bottom surface 4ia is provided on the connecting portion 20. The base 10 is provided with a pressing cover (not shown), and the cover is covered on the base. When the upper surface is mounted, the electronic component 40 is pressed by the cover body in the direction of the arrow ρ. Under the action of the pressing force, the respective protruding electrodes 42 are pressed against the elastic arm 22, and the three-dimensional elastic arm 22 is crushed to make the protrusion The electrode 42 is electrically connected to the elastic arm 22. When the connection device 1 is used for a so-called bum in inspection, the external inspection circuit is passed through the connection portion 20 while the ambient temperature is set to about 150 °C. The protruding electrode 42 is supplied with electricity To check whether the circuit in the main body portion 41 of the electronic component is broken, or to supply a specific signal from the connecting portion 2 to the protruding electrode 42 to perform an operation test of the circuit in the main body portion 41. The component 40 is removed from the connecting device 1. Next, the electronic component 40 to be inspected is placed in the connecting device i, and the inspection is performed in the same manner, and the inspection is repeated. Therefore, the elastic arm 22 at the connecting portion 2 The upper part will contact the protruding electrode 42 of the new electronic component 40 one by one. As shown in FIG. 4, the elastic arm 22 is formed with a coating layer 33 on the surface of the core formed of the conductive metal, and the covering layer 33 is A platinum group metal layer represented by pt. When the tin-containing protruding electrode 42 is pressure-bonded to the coating layer 33 formed of the platinum group metal layer, the platinum group metal is hard to diffuse into the protruding electrode 42, so that the coating layer 33 is present. It is difficult to form an intermetallic compound of a platinum group metal and tin at a contact portion with the protruding electrode 42. Whether or not the metal of the surface of the elastic arm 22 diffuses into the protruding electrode 42 generates 123323.doc -13- 200830649 intermetallic compound, mainly The following two conditions: The condition is that the surface energy of the metal of the elastic arm 22 is covered. When the surface of the elastic arm 22 is a gold layer, since the gold is difficult to oxidize, the surface energy is high, and therefore, the protruding electrode of the right tin is contained. When 42 is in contact with the gold layer, gold and tin are easily bonded due to the surface energy, and as a result, gold is diffused into the protruding electrode 42. In contrast, the platinum group metal represented by Pd forms extremely thin oxidation on the surface. The film is so stable that the surface energy is stable, and it is difficult for pd or the like to diffuse into the protruding electrode 42. Further, since the oxide film is extremely thin, the passage of the current does not hinder the passage of the current, so that the surface resistance of the elastic arm 22 is not lowered. Another condition is the surface hardness of the dancing arm 22. The thermal diffusion of the metal of the intermetallic compound when the elastic arm 22 is in contact with the protruding electrode '42 is proportional to the temperature and the contact area between the two members. If the surface of the elastic arm 22 is a gold layer, since the surface hardness is low, the contact area with the protruding electrode 42 becomes large, the metal potential is easily diffused, and an intermetallic compound of tin and gold is easily formed and deposited. On the other hand, the hardness of the metal layer of the Ming family is high, for example, the Vickers hardness of pd is about 440 to 550 Hv, and the Vickers hardness of Ru is about 650 to 700 Hv. The Vickers hardness is sufficiently high as compared with AuCo (about 160 Ην), AuNi (about 170 to 300 Hv), and Auln (about 210 Hv) which are alloys containing gold. Therefore, when the coating layer 33 on the surface of the elastic arm 22 is a platinum group metal layer, since the surface hardness is high, the contact area when the protruding electrode 42 is pressed does not become large, and thus the platinum group metal is difficult to diffuse into the protruding electrode 42. It is difficult to form an intermetallic compound between the elastic arm and the protruding electrode. When the coating layer 33 is a platinum group metal layer, unlike the gold layer, it is difficult to form an intermetallic compound. Therefore, the contact resistance of the surface of the elastic arm 22 can be kept low at all times 123323.doc -14 - 200830649, so that the damage to the protruding electrode 42 is also small. Further, it is also difficult to cause damage to the protruding electrode 42 due to the intermetallic compound. Fig. 6 shows a modification of the above connecting device. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view showing a part of a cross section of the elastic arm 22A of the modification. The coating layer 34 on the surface of the elastic layer 32 as the core portion of the elastic arm 22A has a two-layer structure. On the surface of the elastic arm 22, a platinum group metal layer 34a such as Pd is formed at the same thickness t1 as that shown in Fig. 5, and a gold layer 34b is formed on the surface. The gold layer 34b is sufficiently thinner than the platinum group metal layer 34a, and has a thickness 丨2 of 〇6 μmη or less. The gold layer 3 having the thickness t2 is very thin, and the platinum group metal layer 34a having two hardnesses is formed under the second layer, so that the contact area with the protruding electrode 42 is small, so that it is difficult to form an intermetallic compound of tin and gold. Further, since the gold layer 34b is very thin, even if an intermetallic compound is formed, the amount thereof is extremely small, so that the damage to the protruding electrode 42 due to the intermetallic compound is also small. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, which is an elastic arm 22b. The core of the 5H elastic arm 22B is formed only of Ni or a Ni alloy, for example, an amorphous alloy of Ni-P. Further, a coating layer 33 shown in Fig. 5 or a coating layer 34 shown in Fig. 6 is formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Since the elastic arm 22B is mainly composed of Ni or a Ni alloy, the overall rigidity and the % flexural modulus are relatively south, and the contact resistance of the surface is also low.
