^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hope that's not the same stuff as the graphite foam stuff...
(You know that black spongy stuff.) I remember see the picture of IC
pins being corroded away in those foams after a few years (close to 10)
in QST.
I don't know what caused that. It might due to chemical action. A
little bit of moisture, a bit of salt spray or something and 2 different
metal -> instant chemical cell. I would say definitely keep the chips
away from moisture.
