I'd hate to deprive Jim of business, Chris ,
but your local jeweler/supply does sell silver and gold cleaning compounds
and aids .
The cloth type is sufficient ; just wipe it clean with alcohol afterwards .
You're right, gentle clean helps to get the accumulations off

Subject: [TN] Cleaning of edge board connectors


Hi technetters,

does anybody have a procedure to clean edge board connectors without
damaging their Ni/Au coating ?
we have old boards which may require some cleaning, but we don't know
whether it is better to let them like they are or to clean them (but with
which product ?) regarding their reliability.
Thanks
