Electrode, electronic component and substrate

Abstract

The present invention is an electrode 10 so provided as to be soldered to an electronic component 12 and, when the electronic component 12 is mounted on a substrate 13, soldered to the substrate 13. The electrode 10 includes a column-like electrode body 11 soldered to the electronic component 12 and to the substrate 13. The electrode has grooves as an air discharging device discharging the air 15 a in air voids 15 generated within the solder 14 between joint surfaces 11 a, 11 b of the electrode body 11 and the electronic component 12 or the substrate 13 when the electrode body 11 is soldered to the electronic component 12 or the substrate 13.
