Electric Contact Perf Cleaner 500ml

Instant Oil, Grease & Dirt Removal
Fast-acting solvent chemistry dissolves and clears grease, oil, and particulate contamination from electrical contact surfaces, connector pins, and switch mechanisms instantly on contact — restoring full electrical conductivity without mechanical scrubbing.
Residue-Free Formulation
Evaporates completely and cleanly — leaving zero chemical residue, zero conductive film, and zero surface contamination after drying. Critical for precision electrical components where any residue introduces resistance or acts as a contamination substrate.
Moisture & Condensation Removal
Water-repellent formulation actively displaces moisture and condensation from PCB surfaces, circuit board traces, battery terminals, and connector housings — eliminating the primary cause of corrosion, short circuits, and intermittent electrical faults caused by moisture ingress.
Compatible with Precision Instruments, Switches & Sockets
Formulated for safe use on sensitive precision instruments, electronic switches, relay contacts, socket connectors, and control panels — where aggressive solvents would damage component housings, degrade insulation, or contaminate calibrated surfaces.
Water Repellency
Beyond cleaning, the formulation imparts a degree of water repellency to treated surfaces — providing short-term protection against moisture re-ingress at contact interfaces and connector housings in humid or wet operating environments.
Precision Aerosol Delivery
Extension tube delivers solvent with pinpoint accuracy directly onto target contacts, pins, and board areas — minimising overspray onto adjacent components and allowing precise treatment of individual connectors in dense wiring assemblies.

Where possible, de-energise the circuit or system before cleaning. For coated PCBs, test compatibility on a small, non-critical area before full application.

1. Shake the can thoroughly before use to ensure the solvent formulation is fully mixed.
2. Attach the precision extension tube to the nozzle for targeted, controlled delivery.
3. For automotive or industrial applications, isolate the circuit or disconnect the battery where safely possible before cleaning — particularly for high-current systems.
4. Hold the can upright and position it approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from the target surface — this distance balances spray pressure with coverage accuracy.
5. Direct the extension tube precisely at the contact, terminal, connector pin, switch body, or PCB area to be cleaned and apply in short, controlled bursts — working systematically across the target area.
6. For battery terminals and heavily corroded contacts, a second application immediately after the first effectively flushes loosened oxidation deposits and contamination clear of the contact surface.
7. Allow the solvent to evaporate completely — the fast-dry formula clears within 1–2 minutes under normal conditions.
8. Inspect the treated surface — contacts should appear clean and bright. 
9. Reconnect or re-energise the circuit only after full evaporation is confirmed.
10. Important: Before applying to coated or conformal-coated PCBs, test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area of the board first. Some conformal coatings may be sensitive to solvent-based cleaners — compatibility testing prevents coating damage on critical electronic assemblies.
11. Pro Tip: Apply Electric Contact PERF Cleaner to battery terminals, fuse box contacts, and main earth strap terminals during every scheduled vehicle service — clean, corrosion-free electrical connections are the single most effective preventive measure against intermittent electrical faults and hard starting in older vehicles.

Q: Is Electric Contact PERF Cleaner safe to use on live circuits?
Soltek Electric Contact PERF Cleaner is a non-conductive, fast-evaporating solvent. While it is formulated to be safe for use near electrical components, de-energising the circuit before cleaning is always the recommended best practice — particularly for high-current automotive and industrial systems — to eliminate any risk during application.

Q: Will Electric Contact PERF Cleaner damage plastic connector housings?
The formulation is designed for compatibility with the connector and switch housings used in automotive and industrial applications. However, certain plastics — particularly polycarbonate and acrylic housings — may be sensitive to solvent-based cleaners. A brief compatibility test on a non-critical surface is advisable before full application on unfamiliar plastic types.

Q: Can I use Electric Contact PERF Cleaner on a car battery terminal?
Yes. Electric Contact PERF Cleaner is effective for removing corrosion deposits, moisture, and grease from battery terminals and clamps — restoring clean metal-to-metal contact that ensures reliable starting and full charging system performance.

Q: Is this product safe for use on PCBs?
Electric Contact PERF Cleaner is safe for use on most standard PCBs. For conformal-coated PCBs — boards with a protective polymer coating applied over the circuit traces — test on a small inconspicuous area first, as certain conformal coating chemistries are sensitive to solvent exposure.

Q: How is Electric Contact PERF Cleaner different from a general-purpose degreaser?
General-purpose degreasers are formulated for mechanical surfaces and may leave residue, conduct electricity when wet, or contain additives that contaminate sensitive electrical contacts. Electric Contact PERF Cleaner is a precision electrical-grade solvent — non-conductive, completely residue-free, and formulated specifically for the tolerance requirements of electrical and electronic components.

Q: Can Electric Contact PERF Cleaner fix intermittent electrical faults?
Yes, in many cases. Intermittent faults caused by oxidised contacts, contaminated connector pins, or moisture on PCB traces are often fully resolved by cleaning with Electric Contact PERF Cleaner — restoring the clean contact interface that consistent electrical conductivity requires. Faults caused by physical damage, broken traces, or failed components require repair or replacement regardless of cleaning.
