Caring for Connectors

Cleaning

Cleaning Interior Surfaces

Interior surfaces, especially on precision 3.5mm connectors, are very 
difficult to reach, and it is easy to damage connectors in trying to clean 
them. The openings are very small, and generally the center conductor is 
supported only at the inner end, by a plastic dielectric support bead. This 
makes it very easy to bend or break the center conductor.

One suitable method (Figure A-4) is to cut off the sharp tip of a round 
wooden toothpick, or a smaller diameter wooden rod, and then to wrap it 
with a single layer of lint-free cleaning cloth.

Figure A-4 

Cleaning interior surfaces

NOTE

Metal must never be used (it will scratch the plated surfaces), and in 
cleaning precision 3.5mm connectors the diameter must not exceed 0.070 
in. (1.7 mm). The wooden handle of a cotton swab, for example, is too 
large for this purpose. Even though the handle can sometimes be 
inserted into the connector, even when wrapped in lint-free cloth, 
movement of the handle against the center conductor can exert enough 
force on the center conductor to damage it severely.
