If you're planning to solder the ICs in a Pb-free soldering process,
then you will likely need IC packages that are also rated for high-temp
reflow, not just Pb-free finish.

Subject: [LF] Making IC's RoHS Compliant
Dear Group,
We are looking for a way to avoid re-designing a number of PWB to
replace non-RoHS compliant IC's with other compliant (not drop-in
replacement) parts. In a discussion today with our component engineer,
we wondered if we could take our stock of non-RoHS compliant IC's, send
them to some lab someplace, have them (dip, acid etch, whatever) remove
the tin/lead solder plating the leads and then have the leads re-plated
with lead-free solder. This assumes a plastic or ceramic package with
standard metal leads, maybe through hole, maybe surface mount. Could we
do this and then claim to be RoHS compliant? Anything else we should
think about in this?
