A straight angle conductor 10 is provided with a cladding material
including a core-sheet metal 11 and conductor-sheet metals 12a, 12b that
sandwich both surfaces of the core-sheet metal 11. The conductor-sheet
metals 12a, 12b having a volume resistivity equal to or less than 5.0
(.mu..OMEGA.cm) wraps both sides of the core-sheet metal 11 having a
thermal expansion coefficient equal to or less than 10
(.times.10.sup.-6/C. .degree.) to prevent the core-sheet metal 11 from
being exposed to an outside of the conductor-sheet metals 12a, 12b. As a
result, it prevents occurrence of an electrical potential difference in a
boundary side face between the core-sheet metal 11 and the
conductor-sheet metals 12a, 12b to improve corrosion resistance.
Especially even when the straight angle conductor 10 is used on a silicon
crystal wafer for a solar cell, damage of the silicon crystal wafer
caused by heat occurring in soldering process of the conductor 10 or a
change in temperature on use thereof for a solar cell is avoided.
