A lead-free solder alloy having a relatively low melting temperature and suitable for use to solder electronic devices consists essentially of: from 7 to 10 wt % of Zn; at least one of from 0.01 to 1 wt % of Ni, from 0.1 to 3.5 wt % of Ag, and from 0.1 to 3 wt % of Cu; optionally at least one of from 0.2 to 6 wt % of Bi, from 0.5 to 3 wt % of In, and from 0.001 to 1 wt % of P; and a balance of Sn. Another such lead-free solder alloy consists essentially of: from 2 to 10 wt % of Zn; from 10 to 30 wt % of Bi; from 0.05 to 2 wt % of Ag; optionally from 0.001 to 1 wt % of P, and a balance of Sn. These solder alloys have a tensile strength of at least 5 kgf/mm and at least 10% elongation.

A water-soluble soldering flux and paste solder using the flux are disclosed, the flux comprising, as a main fluxing agent, a resinous reaction product of at least one carboxyl-containing compound having 8 or less carbon atoms, selected from the group consisting of monocarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids, and hydroxy-carboxylic acids with tris-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isocyanurate.
