Clarostat conductive plastic pots (380 & 485 series)

A widely held misconception is that a "conductive" grease in needed in switches and pots..... if one thinks about it for a moment, conductive grease would obviously short things out. Many times a silicon based grease (non-conductive for sure) is used to add smoothness AND particularly in the case of switches to protect the contacts from exposure to the air with can corrode or tarnish silver or tin plated surfaces.
