I was hoping to get some help from you IPC standards experts out there.
I was looking for the IPC standard that is violated when copper is exposed
on a gold finger card edge connector. The copper that I am seeing is a
result of a chamfer that cuts an internal layer of the PCB. The spec is for
.035 material removed along gold finger and .020 removed in the PCB's
thickness. I expect analysis will prove that this spec is being violated.
I know that exposed copper is a violation but I cannot find a standard that
proves this in this scenario.
On a similar note, when ordinary gold fingers are made correctly and have a
chamfer, copper is exposed when the chamfer cuts into the gold finger
plating. If this is a correct statement, why is this not a violation due to
corrosion of the exposed copper?
Thanks in advance
