CG53A
Contact Treatment Grease
CG53A is part of the CGseries 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
