    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 round 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.

    Protect motor winding wire, transformers, and other metal electrical parts from oils, chemicals, and moisture with these abrasion- and wear-resistant coatings. They are solvent based, so they dry quickly. Choose a varnish with a dielectric strength that’s greater than the voltage of the electrical equipment it protects.
    Bottle—Varnish in a bottle includes an application brush. The brush is also good for touchups.
    Clear—Clear varnish leaves a transparent film so components can be inspected.
    Red and Green—Red and green varnish stand out for identification when used to coat wire.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Varnish that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by product labeling requirements.

    Freeze Sprays

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Freeze Sprays.
    Chill areas of a malfunctioning circuit board to see which part is overheating. These sprays create a layer of frost on your board—watch where it thaws to identify the faulty component. They’ll help you diagnose defective capacitors, resistors, and semiconductors, as well as bad solder joints, oxidized junctions, and cracks.
    All sprays are solvent based and nonflammable.
    Static-Limiting Freeze Sprays—Static-limiting freeze sprays create minimal static, so they’re safe to use on sensitive electronics.
    Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-1234ze) Gas—Sprays with hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-1234ze) gas propellant are less harmful to the environment than sprays with hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-134a) gas propellant.
