| |SAE - AS 8660|This specification covers one type of a nonmelting, heat stable silicone compound for use in high tension electrical connections, ignition systems and electronics equipment; for application to unpainted mating threaded or non-threaded surfaces, and as a lubricant for components fabricated from rubber. This compound is effective in the temperature range from -54°C (-65°F) to +204°C (+400°F) for extended periods and to 260°C (500°F) for short periods. This compound is identified by NATO symbol S-736((http://standards.sae.org/as8660/))| | |SAE - AS 8660|This specification covers one type of a nonmelting, heat stable silicone compound for use in high tension electrical connections, ignition systems and electronics equipment; for application to unpainted mating threaded or non-threaded surfaces, and as a lubricant for components fabricated from rubber.

| + | Be sure the chosen product leaves No Residue. Do not use WD40 as a contact cleaner (it can be conductive). Use a brush, lint-free cloth or swap on stubborn dirt. Only use enough cleaner for the contacts being cleaned. Check the product to see if surrounding material (pastic, etc.) might be damaged. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Let the liquid cleaner thoroughly evaporate. The area & contacts should be dry. Do not re-energize the circuit until any fumes have dissipated. | ||
