CCS
Contact Cleaning Strips
CCS are cleaning strips made from specially developed card, impregnated with a high performance contact
Lubricant. They offer an extremely easy and effective method of returning switches to full working order after
they have become worn or contaminated. They can also be used on new switches to extend their lifetime.
• Specially selected card with the correct degree of surface abrasion; cleans and lubricates in one step
• Reduces contact resistance; increases reliability of contacts
• Applies a very thin layer of lubricant; reduces mechanical wear and contact erosion
• Economical in use; 20 strips are sufficient to clean and lubricate approximately 200 contact pairs
Approvals
RoHS-2 Compliant (2011/65/EU): Yes
NATO Stock No (CCS020): 6850-99-643-4649
Description Packaging Order Code Shelf Life
Contact Cleaning Strips 20 strips per pack CCS020 48 Months
(MOQ = 50 packets)
Directions for Use
A clean part of the strip is inserted between closed contacts and moved back and forth several times. The
abrasive quality of the card and the loosening property of the contact lubricant will remove contamination which
will appear as a dark mark on the strip. Tear off part of the strip that has been used and insert a clean area
between the next contact pair.
CCS can be used for initial cleaning of normal arcing contacts and should be followed with a further application
of Electrolube Contact Lubricant to protect the contacts from arc erosion.
Typical Applications
CCS have been designed to clean, lubricate and protect small relay, non-wiping contacts, edge connectors and
other small contacts operating in low voltage, low current circuits in telecommunications, electronic and
electrical circuitry. They also clean, lubricate and protect other areas where only a very thin film of contact
treatment is required and have not been subjected to heavy wear.
