At least the new design of this part is encased in resin, totally protected from the environment or heat.....
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but several years ago I had alternator problems with a Dodge Caravan. It would fail to charge ONLY when the weather was wet!!! ... long story short ... I found part of the engine control circuit board that controlled the charging was not encapsulated, the rest of the board was ok. Dried the PC board, encapsulated it and end of problem.
