 |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.

 Electrical Contact Cleaner can be used to dissolve dust, dirt, flux, grease and other contaminants from electrical contacts. Electrical Contact Cleaner can be used to dissolve dust, dirt, flux, grease and other contaminants from electrical contacts.
 +
 +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.
 +
 +Cleaning may remove needed lubrication from electro-mechanical parts. Be sure to relubricate moving parts as necessary.
 +
 +Use dielectric grease to minimize future oxidation.
