Elastomer cleaning procedure:

application and are dependent on variables such as contact
force, QFN package and environment it is used. A light cleaning is recommended every 25-50
cycles. A thorough cleaning is recommended every 100 cycles. These recommendations are
suggestions only, and should be increased or decreased based on observation.
Required Tools: Scotch™ Magic™ Transparent tape. (For more thorough cleaning technique use
alcohol, De-Ionized (DI) water, a stiff nylon brush, and clean dry shop air.)
Elastomer can be quickly cleaned of dust and debris with a piece of transparent tape approximately
2 inches long. (Scotch brand has been shown to be effective, but others may work as well.) The
