Dear Jana:

Exposed bare copper (or basis metal) is allowed on electronic assemblies
per IPC-A-610C Paragraph 6.5.2. Hope this helps.

Subject: [TN] Exposed copper in assemblies

Happy Summer Greetings to all...and hopefully you are all unable to
actually enjoy the weather because you're working!

Is there current or recently current literature available on the evils,
or not so evils, of exposed copper in assemblies?  Any references to
sources on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
