If a part is custom made, a company will usually refuse any knowledge
of the part to anyone other than the company who orderd the production.
I have contacted ALPS about a couple of custom made potentiometers that
I have, and the company even refuses to reply. They are just protection
their investments, and dont want to divulge any more info than
necessary to tthe public.


They refuse, becasue custom parts are made under NDAs. If they gove
out the data they can end up in court. Also, a lot of the files are
destroyed after the orders are filled, so the OEM is the only one that
may still have the data.
