Stabilant 22A(R) - Application Update
Technicians may not be aware of the proper use of Stabilant 22A(R). The product should only be
applied to clean MALE terminals and wait several minutes for the evaporation of the alcohol before
mating the terminals together. To clean the male and female terminals before applying the
Stabilant 22A(R), electrical contact cleaner should be used for best results.
Often a sensor may malfunction with an error message on a diagnostic computer, this can occur
because of a faulty connection to the sensor. So the sensor is is replaced again for the same cause
and the error re-occurs. The removal of the dirt/grease must be performed with electrical contact
cleaner before applying Stabilant 22A(R).
Stabilant 22A(R) is an initially non-conductive block polymer that when used in a thin film with in
the contact switches to a conductive state under the effect of the electrical field. The field gradient
at which this occurs is set such that the material will remain non-conductive between adjacent
contacts in a multiple pin connector environment.
Thus, when applied to electromamechancial contacts, Stabilant 22A(R) provides the connection
reliability of a soldered joint without bonding the contacting surfaces together.
Contacts/terminals are generally the weakest link in any piece of electrical equipment whether it be
an electronic ignition module, automotive computer, electrical connectors, power door
locks/Windows, airbag connectors, or even headlights. The use of Stabilant(R) or its
isopropanol-diluted form Stabilant 22A(R), will make contacts from 10 to 100 times more reliable,
eliminating costly comebacks and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Normally, a film thickness of about 0.5 to 1 mils of the concentrate is more then enough. In other
words, you want just enough to fill up the minute gaps within the contacts. Where Stabilant 22A(R)
is used, be sure to allow for the evaporation of the alcohol which forms 4/5th's of it's volume. It has
been in use in field applications in excess of twelve years now without showing any signs of
reduced effectiveness. The material has a high molecular weight and a very low vapor pressure.
Thus is not prone to losses to evaporation. Unlike some other contact protection oils, Stabilant
22A(R) will not cross-link when exposed to certain material such as high sulfur (free-Maching)
brass alloys or in contact with elastomers containing ultra-accelerators, curing agents or other
