    Electrical Parts Cleaners for Contacts

    Less harsh than general purpose electrical cleaners, these cleaners are suitable for the delicate contacts in electronics and printed circuit boards. They remove oxidation and corrosion from metal surfaces, giving your components long-lasting protection and reducing connection failures.
    Pens
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electrical Parts Cleaners. Electrical Parts Cleaners for Contacts, Pens.
    Pens have a chisel tip that can be used to precisely clean delicate contacts. They also contain an additive that improves conductivity. These pens are small enough to fit in your toolbox or carry in your pocket.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Product labeling requirements and/or PFAS regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

    Conductive Gallium

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Gallium. Conductive Gallium.
    A safe alternative to mercury in thermometers and thermostats, gallium transfers heat and electricity without toxic vapor that can be inhaled. Also known as Galinstan. Its low melting point means it's liquid at room temperature. When used next to parts that generate concentrated heat, it dissipates the heat quickly, making it good thermal interface material. It also allows electricity to pass throughout it, so it's often used in switches and electronics that must bend and flex.
    Gallium clings to both metallic and nonmetallic surfaces such as glass and quartz. However, it eats away at most metal when used at high temperatures and dissolves aluminum even at ambient temperatures.
    When choosing gallium, keep in mind its composition. The higher the gallium and indium content, the better it is at transferring heat. Gallium with tin reduces the melting point, but also decreases how well it transfers heat.
