Editing Floppy Drive Repair (section)

=== Connectors ===

Oxidised edge connectors and ribbon headers cause faults that look like drive faults. Clean the drive's edge connector, the controller card's edge connector and the ISA or expansion slot. A dielectric connector grease such as NyoGel 760G is designed for exactly this job — protecting contacts against fretting and corrosion, with a dielectric breakdown of 11.2 kV and a service range of −40 to 135 °C.<ref name="nye">''NyoGel® 760G — The Leading Connector Grease'', Nye Lubricants (Fuchs). Cited for the product being a PAO/silica dielectric '''connector''' grease intended for electrical contacts — preventing fretting wear and corrosion and reducing mating force — with typical properties of −40 to 135 °C service range, kinematic viscosity 400 cSt at 40 °C and dielectric breakdown voltage 11.2 kV. It is '''not''' marketed as a mechanism, rail or gear lubricant.</ref> It is '''not''' a mechanism lubricant, despite being frequently recommended as one.
