Fellow technetters,

I realize that there is an expected specification levels for the NaCl contamination of PCB's.  Pardon me if I may be asking a dumb question, but does plated metal such as housings and the like be under the same specification limits for NaCl?   Are there guidelines or documentation within the industry which state this value?  These are metals that may come in close proximity to the PCB but necessarily mounted on the PCB.
