Richard,

I was talking about front area of the toe, so there is no disagreement :-)

Not sure I agree with you Vladimir. Most leadframes are stamped out of a larger sheet of copper that has been plated on both sides. The sides of the lead will be bare copper, which typically oxidizes somewhat, but the top and bottoms of the flat leads are plated. The IPC 610 solder joint standards are based somewhat around that principle, thus the emphasis on the heel joint and requirements for at least some wetting around the periphery and top of the foot. Everybody knows the sides may not solder so well, but the plated top and bottom of the leads certainly should.
With that in mind, if someone performed SEM of the top of the toe, they should see some evidence of whatever plating was used. The front or sides of the toe, I agree they may not, but even during the stamping some of the plating will be mechanically sheared, and should show up in the analysis......but NOT if the exposed copper has oxidized.

Hi Dave,

With all due respect I completely disagree. What you are saying is applicable in case the plating finish if thin (below 1 micron). But if someone analysts the toe of a lead, all the person should see is only the elements of the lead material, as there is no plating on the toe surface due to the way it's normally made.

Hi Vlad - it depends on the selected analysis location and the kV
selection they used during the analysis.

Dave, if they did that then they wouldn't have seen Sn as leads are
usually chopped off.

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.

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?

Regards,

Vladimir

Leland,

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
