The fine needle tip helps access tight or recessed contacts while the DeoxIT chemistry removes oxidation, reduces intermittent connections and leaves a protective layer that reduces arcing and RFI. This product is packaged as a single 25 mL bottle with a controlled applicator for accurate, low-waste application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this applicator improve electrical connections?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeoxIT’s formulation restores metal-to-metal contact by dissolving oxidation and residue on connector surfaces, improving conductivity and reducing intermittent failures.
