Hi Dwayne,

DeoxIT D5 is what I'd recommend. Dunno if I'd rely on spray-on dielectric g=
rease afterward, I prefer physical dielectric grease, although messier and =
more time-consuming to apply.

Seriously exposed connectors get Denso Tape and then 558CA aluminum duct ta=
pe over that, but that's a pretty intense and ugly saltwater measure, proba=
bly overkill and not visually appealing.

Friendly regards, Bob

Subject: [EE] Looking for contact cleaner

Good day to all.

My buddy is rebuilding a pair of elderly BMW motorcycles dating from
the early 70's.  He is looking for a contact cleaner that he can use
to clean / enhance the various wiring harness connectors.  That is:
pull the connector from whatever device the harness is connected to,
spray both the plug and receptacle, re-assemble.  Possibly spray in a
dielectric grease before re-assembling.

I'm not sure what to suggest for him to use.  In days long gone, I'd
be thinking of the Tuner Wash that one used on old television
channel-change turret tuners.  I don't know what to suggest in these
modern times.

These connectors are NOT corroded or damaged.  Rather, this is an
attempt to ward off future problems.

Suggestions gratefully accepted.

Many thanks!

dwayne
