Cleaning Instructions for esmo semicon pogo towers

Clean the pin with clean, dry, and oil-free compressed air at a maximum line pressure of 2 bar.

Clean the pin with a fine, dust-free hair brush – the pin tips of older pogo towers may also be cleaned with a metal wire brush (Nanotek brush) to remove oxide layers.

In the most unfavourable case, the product DeoxIT GOLD could be applied – nevertheless, it has the disadvantage that the liquid adhering to the pin will lead to a further accumulation of microparticles after a certain time.

Please do not use plastic brushes by any means – plastic microparticles sticking to the pin tip may cause contact problems. Do not use any glass fi bre brushes also – they destroy the gold layer, and are detrimental to  human health due to the microparticles they release.

Please do not use alcohol for cleaning under any circumstances – due to its capillary effect, alcohol penetrates the pin and impairs the pin properties because of its residues.
