A solder joint manufactured of an alloy essentially composed of 0.01-7.6 wt % Cu, 0.001-6 wt % Ni, and the remaining of Sn. Each of Cu and Ni has a maximum concentration range. The lower limit of the range of Ni is 0.01 wt % and preferably 0.03 wt %. The upper limit of the range of Ni is 0.3 wt % and preferably 0.1 wt %. The lower limit of the range of Cu is 0.1 wt % and preferably 0.2 wt %. The upper limit of the range of Cu is 7 wt % and preferably 0.92 wt %. The invention includes the solder joint essentially having these compositions.
