Cleaning a BNR Connector

[W. eWatson]

I have a female BNR connector that I think needs oxidation removed from
inside. It's a bit too tight for emery paper. Any suggestions?

** Use an artist's brush dipped in WD40 to clean it - if that is no help
then replace it.

BTW

Most folk call them " BNC " connectors - for " Bayonet Neill Concelman ".

Replacing it seems to be in the cards.

Before you give up and replace it, you might try
one of those liquid tarnish removers. The one I
have is called "Tarn-X", but it is decades old so
I don't know if they are still in business.

Basically, you dip the part in the solution for a
moment and then rinse it off THOROUGHLY.
The label says it contains "acidified thiourea,
detergent, and corrosion inhibitors." Probably
not the kind of stuff you want on electronic
parts! However, I have used it on ancient DIPs
that had silver plated leads, so oxidized as to be
unsolderable. The magic liquid cleaned them
instantly, and I never had any later problems
with the circuit.

I'll consider it, but tomorrow is about the last effort before I just
replace it.

It looks like I had B (N)and C ice cream on my mind when I posted!!

Yes, so noted. I happen to like Baskin and (N) Robbins (BNC) butter pecan
ice cream. I think my brain got rewired recently on the matter. However,
I thought BNC stood for British Naval Connector.

We once had a connector vendor guy visit; I asked him if BMC stood for
anything, and he just said, "BayoNet Connector".

When I was in the USAF, they issued a "contact burnisher" with several
blades, one of which was round, and could poke into the contact of a
female BNC.

Good Luck!

Duodecobenzinesulfonicacid. Used to make Melamine and some water based foam
when reacted with urea. The Chinese have loads of the stuff. They use it
in their kids formula as a stretcher along with ethylene glycol as a
sweetener. Diluted 100:1 with water it will clean corrosion off most
metals. Also used as a major ingredient in car wash soap as an aluminum
brightener. Stinky stuff. Been there done that in my prior work life. If
ingested over a period of time it will kill you slowly. Kills Cats faster.
