Leland,
Will the part come off if you add sac 305 solder?

Richard,
The leads of both components were supposed to be coated with pure tin. The
lead finish was not supposed to change. Our solder paste used for reflow
has always been SAC 305.
We've tried to remove the new component at three different soldering
stations. The irons are all calibrated and checked each morning.
We've fluxed the joints and use tweezer attachments as the removal tool, and
have scrapped 10 boards in the process.
Something has changed, and the only change we've been able to identify is at
the SEM.

I think, but am not sure, that you are attempting to remove a new component
whose leads are FINISHED (not soldered) with SAC305 solder, and that is why
you measure Sn98 on the parts straight out of the tape (I am going to
disregard the SEM analysis of 2% silicon for a moment).
Secondly, the new parts were probably soldered to the PWB with SAC305 solder
as well, and that is why when you attempt to unsolder them or bring them
into liquidus, you are having more difficulty than you did with the old
parts.
Not only were the old parts finished with Sn63 solder, but they were also
soldered in place with Sn63 solder.
The new parts are meant to be RoHS compliant, and apparently they are, with
a Sn level of 98%, and no Pb in sight on the SEM diagram. If that were the
only change, you should notice no difference in the ability to remove the
part if they were, in fact, soldered to the PWB with Sn63; the plating
change alone would not make any noticeable difference.
Soldering them to the PWB with lead-free SAC305 alloy would make a huge
difference in your ability to unsolder and remove the part, no matter what
finish was used to plate the part.
Silicon will not break down and become part of an alloy under 1000 deg. C.
The 2% SEM pickup is probably silicon chips or dust from the component body.

Dave Hillman,
With your metallurgical background you might be a better person than I to
make a comment. I'm not sure I've even had or seen an occasion where
something dissolved in the bulk solder and increased the
melting/solidification temperature. Yes I've seen the leading edge of
solder as it flows and wets a surface dissolve metallization and freeze
because the local meting temperature changed but I've never seen that happen
to the bulk of a solder joint

George

George,
It's been a long day, and maybe I'm not making myself too clear.
We're not being able to achieve a liquidus state with a 700 degree F
soldering iron. We're not trying to melt the lead, just the solder that's
holding it to the PCB. We're not accomplishing that with the new component,
so I'm thinking something has mixed with the solder joint and has raised the
resultant reflow temperature.

Leland,
Am I missing something? I don't think it really matter that the lead base
material or lead surface finish is. What matters is the solder used to
attach the lead to the board. When you desolder a lead you don't melt the
lead you melt the solder.

George

Hi Leland - I recommend you find out the lead base metal composition. If you
shot an SEM-EDS of the lead toe, you could be getting the Si from the base
metal composition and not part of the solder alloy composition.

Re: [TN] Rework Concern and Question
Vladimir,
We analyzed raw components straight out of the tape and reel packaging.
The site selection was on the bottom side of the leads at the toe.

Sorry Ben, it doesn't.
Leland,
What you are saying sounds strange. What does it mean: "We've analyzed the
lead material beneath the SEM and it returns 98% tin and 2% silicone"? Did
you analyzed leads or solder? Where the analysis was taken from? Did you
analyzed leads with pads ripped off?

I won't claim to be an expert, but this website seems to imply something
along those lines.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [TN] Rework Concern and Question
Folks,
We've ran across a strange incident and I'd like a little advice from the
group.
We recently underwent a component vendor change, and part of the first group
of boards were misbuilt due to incorrect polarity (the part marking was
misinterpreted by the vision operator).
Anyway, an attempt to remove the part by our Repair group resulted in lifted
pads on 10 of the first 12 boards. We've analyzed the lead material beneath
the SEM and it returns 98% tin and 2% silicone. The old style component
comes off quite easily (within 3 seconds), and an analysis of its leads
shows to be 100% tin. It's a 6 pin diode with very little mass.
What's going on here? Does a 2% silicone mix raise the melting point of
solder by 200 degrees C?
Please help me understand.
Thanks,
Leland
