Hi Rob - here is the paper you are looking for:
"Effects of Operating Environments on Migration of Copper on Printed Wiring
Boards", May 1989, author W.H. Abbott, Battelle
I also have a paper that documents a 30 year study of exposed copper in the
Telecommunications industry but can't find it in my files - I'll post it
when I find it. Happy reading.

Subject: [TN] Components - Exposed Cu on Component Lead Ends
Can anyone direct me to a technical reference detailing the work done to
show that exposed copper on component lead ends do not pose a solderability
problem?
I've searched the Technet Archives but only found vague references to a
Battelle paper with no further details.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
