Cleaning Connectors

Use a lint-free swab or cleaning cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or stubborn contaminants on a connector that cannot be removed with compressed air or nitrogen. Refer to Table 6-3 on page 6-5for part numbers for isopropyl alcohol and cleaning swabs.

a.Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free cleaning swab.

b.Clean the connector threads.

c.Let the alcohol evaporate, then blow the threads dry with a gentle stream of clean, low-pressure compressed air or nitrogen. Always completely dry a connector before you reassemble or use it.

3.Clean the Mating Plane Surfaces

a.Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free cleaning swab.

b.Clean the center and outer conductor mating plane surfaces. When cleaning a female connector, avoid snagging the swab on the center conductor contact fingers by using short strokes.

c.Let the alcohol evaporate, then blow the connector dry with a gentle stream of clean, low-pressure compressed air or nitrogen. Always completely dry a connector before you reassemble or use it.

4.Reinspect

Inspect the connector again to make sure that no particles or residue are present.
