Electronic Cleaners

Electronic Cleaners are purpose-built solvents and sprays that remove oils, flux, oxidation, dust, and grime from sensitive circuits and contacts without leaving residue. Use them on connectors, switches, relays, potentiometers, sensors, keyboards, fans, and populated PCBs to restore conductivity, stop arcing, resolve intermittent dropouts, reduce heat, and extend service life. By cleaning contamination that increases resistance or traps moisture, the right contact cleaner or PCB cleaner can bring failing electronics back to reliable operation in minutes.

Common types include fast-drying, residue-free contact cleaners for precision work; flux removers for post-solder cleanup; water-displacing formulas for wet ignition systems and outdoor gear; and contact cleaners with light lubricants for faders and potentiometers. Formats span aerosols with precision straws, pump sprays, pen applicators, pre-saturated wipes, and bulk bottles for bench or ultrasonic use.

What to look for:
- Plastic compatibility and residue-free performance on typical substrates (ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic).
- Dielectric strength and non-conductivity for energized proximity work (always power down before direct application).
- Evaporation rate that matches your task: ultra-fast for quick turnarounds, slower for deeper soak and lift.
- Flammability rating, odor, VOC compliance, and certifications (RoHS, REACH, NSF K2 for food areas).
- Corrosion inhibitors or fader-safe lubricants where long-term protection or smooth feel is needed.

How to use:
- Power off, unplug, and discharge capacitors; observe ESD precautions.
- Test on a hidden area for plastic compatibility.
- Apply short, targeted bursts; let contaminants flush away, using lint-free swabs or brushes.
- Allow complete evaporation before re-energizing.
- Ventilate the workspace and avoid ignition sources; follow the SDS for PPE and disposal.

Electronic Cleaners help maintain audio equipment, industrial controls, automotive connectors, robotics, PCs, and consumer electronics. With the proper cleaner, technicians and DIYers can improve performance, prevent corrosion, and speed maintenance and repair with safe, effective, residue-free results.
