Provided is flux that can achieve a low residue so as to make it possible to ensure solder wettability, ensure holding properties of a solder ball, and suppress the amount of residue after soldering and enable application for use without washing.
The flux includes 1-15% by weight of an organic acid mixture comprising an organic acid with 10 or more carbon atoms, 50-90% by weight of isobornyl cyclohexanol, and 5-45% by weight of a different solvent. The proportion of the isobornyl cyclohexanol is 50-95% by weight, where 100% by weight is the total of the isobornyl cyclohexanol and the different solvent. The organic acid mixture comprising the organic acid with 10 or more carbon atoms comprises 2-methylnonanedioic acid, 4-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,4-dimethylundecanedioic acid, 4,6-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2,4,6-trimethyldecanedioic acid, and 8,9-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-8,9-dimethylhexadecanedioic acid.
