Polyphenyl ethers have been used for nearly twenty years as lubricants with long life, high reliability electronic connectors. Initially their use was for the purpose of preventing metal wear. Since then their effectiveness in preventing connector corrosion has been studied and reported. This paper is a compilation of questions frequently asked on the subject of applying these lubricants to connectors. The unique physical properties of these lubricants which help prevent corrosion are discussed in detail. Other topics include material handling, solvents, applications, and film characteristics.
