Removing Corrosion from Fisher connector and VR3

Craig69

Due to an outstanding lack of common sense on my part I have managed to get some sea water in my Fisher connector.

Consequently I have verdigree on the contacts and on the connector on the VR3.

I know I can remove them with white vinegar but how long does it take? For example, I didn't want to leave the lead and connector on the VR3 submerged over night to find it damaged in the morning.

I'm using normal white pickling vinegar from the supermarket, I take it I have to dilute this 1:10?

Thanks,

Craig: Having shown an outstanding lack of common sense myself, I have cleaned both the VR3 and the cable a couple of times with vinegar. I did not dilute it at all. I simply soaked the connections in full strength vinegar for about 30 minutes and rinsed well with fresh water. After allowing them to dry, I use a bit of grease when assemblig the cable to the computer. This will keep the small O ring lubed, and help with further corrosion. Peter

vinegar is 5% acetic acid, it is already diluted and shouldn't need further dilution. i have also somehow had a go bad with my VR3 connector

I use citric acid, then pack it with grease afterwards.
