Have been Googling the proper way to clean plated electrical contacts
but either get nothing if use " or a lot of nonrelevant hits without.

Am interested in any suggestions esp how to remove the nonconductive
oxides.

If a connector is too damaged would also be interested in what are
considered the best type replacement.

For brass 316 jack plugs, use a green nylon scouring pad.

If the corrosion is on battery connectors that have been used with
alkaline batteries, you will wreck the surface with dry physical
cleaning before you make contact - but with a drop of water, the
corrosion comes off easily.
