Thad:

Based on a reliability report generated by HP:  If the gold content is less
than 2% of the  resultant solder joint volume, no appreciable solder
embrittlement will occur.  Therefore, the VOLUME of gold on ANY pad must be
less than 2% of the resultant solder joint VOLUME, or ~1% of the VOLUME of
solder paste applied to that pad. (e.g. if 0.005" solder paste is applied, gold
thickness should be < 50 micro-inches.)

     I have a follow up question, what is the mininum associated gold 
     thicknesses for gold on areas to be soldered.  In Table 3-2 it only 
     states .8 um (Max).  
     
     Thanks,

IPC-6012, Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed 
Boards, identifies the following minimums:
     
                             Class 1       Class 2      Class 3
Nickel to act as a            
barrier for copper-tin        1.0 um        1.3 um       1.3 um 
compounds
     
Gold for edge-board 
connectors and areas not      0.8 um        0.8 um       1.3 um 
to be soldered
     
um = micrometers
     
It should be noted that this document is in proposal stage. These numbers 
are subject to revision during the development of the document. This 
document is to replace IPC-RB-276.
