Cleaning a BNR Connector

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.

Best regards,

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!! :)

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!
