Approved Corrosion Prevention Compound for Helicopter Avionics & Tactical Vehicles

Abstract

Overview of the Brief: the problem being addressed is the reliability of LRU electrical connectors. Intermittent Effects may produce, cannot duplicate (CND's), retest OK's (RTOK), and possible removals leading to depot returns = exchange costs. A possible source of these effects is the formation of thin, often invisible corrosion films on contact surfaces. Technical basis for this subtle corrosion well established. Perception of problem difficult since it usually cannot be seen = not reported = doesn't exist.
