ELECTRICAL CONTACT ENHANCER

Stabilant 22A evaporates and leaves a thin polymer film which is conductive between the mating surfaces, while staying non-conductive between adjacent pins. At the same time it prevents the formation of any further harmful deposits.

BMW PART NUMBER SPECIFICATION

Wurth - Part No. 893622 (Stabilant 22A)

NOTE: 1 : Stabilant 22A must not be used on Oxygen Sensor connectors. To function, oxygen sensors require a flow of oxygen through the terminal connector to the sensor element. Stabilant 22A will affect this flow of oxygen, and will result in irreparable damage to the sensor.

NOTE: 2 : Stabilant 22A must not be used on plug connectors which carry fiber optics.

Stabilant 22A may migrate to the fiber optic and attenuate the optical signal.

CONTACT CLEANER SPRAY

Use to clean electrical and electronic components of dirt, grease, etc. Will not harm components or epoxy coverings. Allow to air dry. Do not dry with shop air supply as this may contaminate the connector.

BMW PART NUMBER SPECIFICATION

Wurth - Part No. 89365 (Zero Residue Electrical Contact Cleaner)
