FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60749-15 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 47:
Semiconductor devices.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003 and constitutes a
technical revision. The significant changes with respect from the previous edition include:
– editorial change in the scope,
– addition of lead-free solder chemical composition specification.

MECHANICAL AND CLIMATIC TEST METHODS –

Part 15: Resistance to soldering temperature
for through-hole mounted devices

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60749 describes a test used to determine whether encapsulated solid state
devices used for through-hole mounting can withstand the effects of the temperature to which
they are subjected during soldering of their leads by using wave soldering or a soldering iron.
In order to establish a standard test procedure for the most reproducible methods, the solder
dip method is used because of its more controllable conditions. This procedure determines
whether devices are capable of withstanding the soldering temperature encountered in printed
wiring board assembly operations, without degrading their electrical characteristics or internal
connections.
This test is destructive and may be used for qualification, lot acceptance and as a product
monitor.
This test is, in general, in conformity with IEC 60068-2-20 but, due to specific requirements of
semiconductors, the clauses of this standard apply.
2 General
The heat is conducted through the leads into the device package from solder heat at the
reverse side of the board. This procedure does not simulate wave soldering or reflow heat
exposure on the same side of the board as the package body.
3 Test apparatus
3.1 Solder pot
A solder pot of sufficient size to contain at least 1 kg of solder shall be used. The solder pot
dimensions shall allow full immersion of the leads without touching the bottom. The apparatus
shall be capable of maintaining the solder at the temperature specified in Table 1.
3.2 Dipping device
A mechanical dipping device shall be used that is capable of controlling the rates of
immersion and emersion of the leads and providing the dwell time as specified in Table 1.
3.3 Heatsinks or shielding
If applicable, heatsinks or shielding shall be attached to the devices prior to the test and shall
be as specified in the relevant specification.

4.1 Solder
The solder specification shall be as follows.
Chemical composition
– for SnPb solder the composition in percentage by weight shall be as follows:
Tin: 59 % to 65 %;
Lead: the remainder.
Chemical composition
– for Pb-free solder the composition in percentage by weight shall be as follows:
Silver: 3 % to 4 %;
Copper: 0.5 % to 1 %;
Tin: the remainder.
The solder shall not contain impurities which will adversely affect its properties.
Other solders and their applicable bath temperatures may be used as specified in the relevant
specification.
4.2 Flux
If flux is applied prior to solder dipping, the flux shall consist of 25 % by weight of colophony
in 75 % by weight of isopropyl alcohol, unless otherwise detailed in the relevant specification.
5 Procedure
5.1 Pre-conditioning of specimens
Any special pre-conditioning of the specimens prior to testing shall be as specified in
the relevant specification. This preparation may include operations such as bending or other
relocation of leads, and the attachment of heat sinks or protective shielding prior to
solder dipping.
5.2 Preparation of the solder bath
The molten solder shall be stirred to assure that the temperature is uniform. The dross shall
be skimmed from the surface of the molten solder just prior to dipping the part.

5.3 Use of flux
Where detailed in the relevant specification, all leads of the specimen shall be dipped in flux
prior to solder dip; excess flux shall be removed by draining for a suitable time.
5.4 Solder dip
The part shall be attached to the dipping device (see 3.2) and the leads immersed in the
molten solder until the body of the device under test reaches the dimensions specified in
Table 1. The parameters for solder temperature, dwell time, number of immersions and
