CG-53A

Page 1 CG53A Contact Treatment Grease CG53A is part of the CG series of Contact Lubricants, designed as 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. In addition to providing low and stable contact resistance and improved mechanical lubrication properties, CG53A offers superior long term protection to contacts in corrosive environments. It is also an ideal lubricant for high voltage contacts. The plastics compatibility of this grease is very good although, as with all lubricants, it is always advisable to test prior to full scale production. Excellent resistance to harsh environments protects contacts from corrosion Excellent electrical performance ideal for high voltage contacts Produces low and constant mV drop and contact resistance ensures reliability of the contact Provides optimal mechanical resistance and reduces electrical background noise RoHS-2 Compliant (2011/65/EU): Yes Approvals NATO Stock Number: 6850-99-186-8879 Typical Properties Colour Cream Density (g/ml) 0.995 Temperature Range (C) -35 to +130 Vapour Pressure 0.001 Torr 20C Evaporation Weight Loss (% 7 days 100C) 0.42 Evaporation Weight Loss (% 7 days 125C) 1.25 Copper Strip Corrosion (IP154 / ISO 2160) 1b Drop Point (IP32 / ISO 2176 (C)) 200 Cone Penetration Worked (ASTM D217, 60 strokes 20C) 320 Cone Penetration Un-Worked (ASTM D 217 20C) 300 Cone Penetration Un-Worked (ASTM D 217 -40C) 230 Consistency (NLGI) 1 Fliessdruck (Flow Pressure) (DIN 51805, mbar -40C) 320 Oil Bleed / Separation (IP121) 5% Silver Corrosion (DIN 51759, 3hrs 100C) No change Plastic Compatibility - ABS Test Plastic Compatibility - PC Test Thickener Lithium Complex Soap UV Trace No Page 2 Base Oil Properties Base Oil Type Poly Alkylene Glycol Base Oil Viscosity 40C (Kinematic Viscosity (cSt)) 225 Base Oil Viscosity 100C (Kinematic Viscosity (cSt)) 37 Base Oil Viscosity Index (ASTM D 2270) 214 Pour Point (ASTM D 97 (C)) -37 Flash Point (COC ASTM D 92 (C)) 214 Packing Order Code Shelf Life Container Dimension 35ml Syringe CG53A35SL 48 months 1 Kg Bulk CG53A01K 72 months 5 Kg Bulk CG53A05K 72 months 12.5 Kg Bulk CG53A12.5K 72 months 254mm (inside diameter) x 330mm (height) 25 Kg Bulk CG53A25K 72 months 305mm (inside diameter) x 406mm (height) The 12.5 and 25 kg grease drums have parallel sides for use with follower plate dispensing equipment for automated manufacturing lines. Directions for Use Before final treatment with Electrolube lubricants, contact surfaces should be clean and dry. For general removal of dirt, Electrolube Ultrasolve is recommended. Hardened dirt and tarnish, especially on larger contacts, should be removed by rubbing with an abrasive material, which can be impregnated with the lubricant to be used. After cleaning non-wiping contacts, loosened tarnish should be removed before a final application of lubricant is made. Electrolube Contact Cleaning Strips (CCS) are recommended for this purpose. With wiping contacts, loosened tarnish will be pushed aside. This can be removed if desired, but is usually not necessary, due to the excellent lubricating and protective properties of the contact lubricant. CG53A can be applied by one of the following methods (although this list is not exhaustive): Manually by way of a syringe Semi-automated using syringe dispensing equipment Fully automated by way of a follower/pusher plate with dispensing system.
