3-6 Connector Cleaning
Connector interfaces — especially the outer conductors on the GPC 7
and SMA connectors — should be kept clean and free of dirt and other
debris.
Clean connectors with lint-free cotton swabs. Isopropyl alcohol is the
recommended solvent.
Figure 3-3 on page 3-13 illustrates the cleaning
procedures for male and female connectors.

Note
Most cotton swabs are too large to fit into the ends of the
smaller connector types. In these cases it is necessary to
peel off most of the cotton and then twist the remaining
cotton tight. Be sure that the remaining cotton does not get
stuck in the connector.
