Herschell Electronic Cleaner 400ml

The Herschell Electronic Cleaner is a high-purity, fast-evaporating solvent cleaner designed for use on sensitive electrical and electronic components. It is formulated to remove dust, oil, grease, and moisture from delicate circuitry without leaving any residue, making it a critical tool for maintaining the "low-resistance" connections required in modern electronics.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 400ml Aerosol.
• Evaporation Rate: Rapid (leaves no residue).
• Compatibility: Safe for most plastics, rubbers, and metals (though testing on a small area is recommended).
• Dielectric Strength: High (insulates against electrical arcing during cleaning).
• Product Code: HERS0200.

Key Performance Features

• Non-Conductive: Because it is non-conductive, it is safer to use around electrical assemblies (though equipment should always be powered down first).
• Zero Residue: Unlike general-purpose degreasers, this cleaner evaporates completely, ensuring that no "film" is left behind to attract new dust or interfere with electrical signals.
• Penetrating Action: The aerosol spray has a low surface tension, allowing it to penetrate into tight spaces like micro-switches, potentiometers, and multi-pin connectors.
• Moisture Displacement: Effectively displaces water and condensation, which is a primary cause of short circuits and corrosion in South Africa's humid coastal regions.

Common Applications

• Computers & IT: Cleaning motherboards, RAM slots, and cooling fans.
• Automotive Electronics: Degreasing sensors (like MAF sensors), fuse boxes, and spark plug leads.
• Workshop Tools: Maintaining the switches and internal brushes of power tools and welding inverters.
• Audio/Visual: Restoring "scratchy" volume knobs (potentiometers) and cleaning HDMI or RCA ports.
• Industrial: Cleaning PLCs, control panels, and contactors in factory environments.

Usage & Professional Tips

• Power Down: Always turn off the power and unplug the device before spraying. Allow the cleaner to evaporate fully (usually 30-60 seconds) before restoring power.
• Use the Extension Tube: For precision work, use the "straw" included with the 400ml can to direct the solvent into specific contact points or under chips.
• Mechanical Action: For stubborn oxidation, you can lightly agitate the area with a soft, non-static brush while the solvent is still wet.
• Avoid "Live" Arcing: Do not spray onto energized equipment where a spark could occur, as the aerosol propellant is flammable.
