Pin connector corosion

[Samnjoe]

Wondering if any of you know of a product to use (spray) on all of the electronic pin connectors on the backs of your chart plotters / radar units?
Some kind of lube or cleaner to preemptively stop corrosion issues.

di-electric grease worked on mine in my RHIB, and they get saltwater spray.

Called corrosion block....you can get into spray version...

Hope you get to this before the pins start going green with corrosion.
Di-electric grease will do the job of keeping the water out and the corrosion down.
If you get green on the pins; it will be too small to sandblast or burnish clean, so use a conductivity enhancer. Get a can of copper clad anti-seize, and using a toothpick, put a small amount of copper clad into the hole for each pin. When the copper molecules are compressed they conduct electricity well.

Thanks guys.
All my gear is inside the cabin and so far no problem.
Just thinking about a little preventative maintenance.

I use dielectric grease on all my connections also

Vaseline will also work.

Corrosion X. Or ACF-50(Aviation) Meant for that exact situation. Used it, nothing else compares.

I've used a product called DeOx-it with good results. removed corrossion on a few connectors that previously were'nt working...
looks like it has good reviews. 5 stars...
