Mike,
Clean with white vinegar and rinse with distilled water.....or go to any
electronics shop, like the Source, a get a spray can of 'contact
cleaner'.......I don't know what that stuff is but I do know it works.
Any plastic and rubber housing can be treated with 'dielectirc grease'
but not the actual connectors themselves.....might help to reduce
further oxidization.

Persistence has a Standard Horizon GX2150 VHF with a cockpit mounted
Ram mic. The connection is becoming intermittent and I have noticed
oxidization in the boat side socket.
What is the best way to clean the oxidization from these pins? I
think the pins are copper and the oxidization is green and likely the
source of my poor connection.
I wish to clean but not damage the plastic housing or short the
connectors when the ram mic is plugged in.
Am assuming the brain trust has dealt with this many times before
Thanks
