Note

^ Stabilant 22A enhances conductivity, and should be applied to the connector terminals whenever a harness is disconnected as well as when replacing a component or connector.

^ When applied to electrical connections, Stabilant 22A becomes a conductor and provides the reliability of a soldered connection, without actually bonding the contacting surfaces together.

^ When applied to multiple pin connectors, Stabilant 22A enhances conductivity between connector terminals while remaining a non-conductor between adjacent terminals.
