The CG series of Contact Lubricants is an extension of the extremely popular 2X range. The main advantages of these products are reduced contact resistance (even on extremely heavy usage), improved plastics compatibility and improved mechanical lubrication.
The unique properties of CG53A have been produced by using a blend of low viscosity base oils, containing anti-corrosion, anti-oxidant and metal protection additives, thickened with a complex soap. The use of a complex soap thickener, rather than clay or silica, has the benefit of producing smoother grease with superior mechanical properties. These include decreasing wear and producing a high quality switch “feel”. In addition if the switch is exposed to extremely high temperatures over long periods, forcing the base oil to evaporate, the thickener will not remain as an insulative, abrasive layer on the contact surfaces.
The exceptionally low wear characteristics make CG53A ideal for high quality audio and automotive applications, providing a very smooth, high quality feel operation. The use of this lubricant on switches and connectors ensures a very low and stable contact resistance over the long lifetimes required by such industries. CG53A is also used in high voltage applications and protects from harsh environmental conditions that could lead to corrosion.
