50 microns enough? gold plated contacts.

But one modular jack has black spring wire, and modular plug has one black contact. Need gold connections. Been there, wore out that t-shirt. Got an outside line (POTS/DSL) from my point-of-access (PA) to house. Couldn't find a single line long enough so connected two lines with dbl-female union. Over the last Spring, lost both phone and internet connectivity several times. Each time it was mold ("black") on the contacts of the mid-line union. My solution: old tooth brush and WD40 (which is a water displacement (WD) formula, not a lubricant!). Hosed all connections w/ WD40 and scrubbed mold out with toothbrush. Worked well in dead of rainy-season as a quick-fix, but finally hadda buy a new union. HTH nb |
