Hi Ioan and Richard,

Thanks!

I don't know why I didn't search for that! Well actually I did, but I did the search on Vishay's web page and didn't turn up anything so I just waited on Vishay...silly me.

Hi All,

 

First Halloween in Boise last night, and made the mistake of buying candy for the goblins that would be knocking on the door. As you might have guessed, I didn't have one trick-or-treater stop by. So now I'm stuck with three pounds of candy. Maybe next year I should put out signs or something, or just not buy any candy at all. But if I didn't buy candy, I probably would be inundated with trick-or-treaters huh?

 

We're going to be building a board that contains a Rotary Potentiometer from Vishay (PN# P11A1F0GHSW10502KA). It's a through-hole potentiometer that I've never personally seen.

 

I've looked at the datasheet (http://www.vishay.com/docs/51031/p11.pdf)
to determine whether or not it can be cleaned after wave solder, and it really doesn't say other than to say that it's IP64 sealed. What does
IP64 sealed mean?

 

I must have sent 3-4 emails over the past week to Vishay support asking the question, and haven't heard a peep. Certainly can't speak to anyone over the phone.

 

Does anybody know if I can do an aqueous clean (straight DI, no
chemistry) on this?

 

Steve
