Well, almost all of these have a laquer finish on the wires. I do not know if that would cause a problem. However, if they are potted inside the package it is anybody's guess as to what is trapped in there.

Nope.  I am talking about the actual surface mount and through-hole transformers that go on circuit boards, not the transformers that hang on poles outside your house.  Nor am I talking about futuristic cars that transform into Autobots or Decepticons.

I want to know what the darn things are made of that could be supplying the high levels of ionic material I see in my IC extractions.
