Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Cleaning Connectors

Cleaning Connectors

1. Use Compressed Air or Nitrogen

Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF and

microwave coaxial connections.

Use compressed air (or nitrogen) to loosen particles on the connector

mating plane surfaces.
You can use any source of clean, dry, low-pressure compressed air or

nitrogen that has an effective oil-vapor filter and liquid condensation trap

placed just before the outlet hose.
Ground the hose nozzle to prevent electrostatic discharge, and set the air

pressure to less than 414 kPa (60 psi) to control the velocity of the air

stream. High-velocity streams of compressed air can cause electrostatic

effects when directed into a connector. These electrostatic effects can

damage the device. Refer to

“Electrostatic Discharge” on page 1

for

additional information.

2. Clean the Connector Threads

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 5

for

a part number for cleaning swabs.

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

swab.

Clean the connector threads.

Always use protective eyewear when using compressed air or

nitrogen.

Keep isopropyl alcohol away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a

tightly closed container. It is extremely flammable. In case of fire,

use alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide; water may be

ineffective.
Use isopropyl alcohol with adequate ventilation and avoid contact

with eyes, skin, and clothing. It causes skin irritation, may cause eye

damage, and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. It may be harmful if

absorbed through the skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
In case of spill, soak up with sand or earth. Flush spill area with

water.
Dispose of isopropyl alcohol in accordance with all applicable

federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
