G5S-6
2. Container Size:
142 g (5.0 oz.), with Low-Med-High Valve
3. Product Description:
Unique contact treatment, conditioner, enhancer, lubricant and
protectant for PLATED metal surfaces. Improves conductivity,
maintains optimum signal quality, reduces fretting & dendrite corrosion,
and stabilizes connections between similar and dissimilar metals. Molecularly
bonds to both base-metals and plated surfaces and seals out oxygen, protecting
both surfaces. The DeoxIT® Gold coating is excellent at reducing wear abrasion,
arcing, RFI and intermittent connections and improves connector performance/reliability.
Ideal for gold plated surfaces. On oxidized surfaces, pre-treat with DeoxIT® D-Series contact rejuvenator.
Temperature* range: -45 to +240OC.

5% Spray, with L-M-H valve - Flushing action, Safe on most plastics.
DeoxIT® Gold G100L concentrate has approximately 0.5% chemical deoxidizing action.
Excellent conductivity enhancing, excellent protection, minimum deoxidizing,
no ozone depletion. Prevents dendrite and fretting corrosion. Protects base metals.
Reduces intermittent connections, arcing, RFI, wear and abrasion. Ideal for both stationary and
moving (vibration) connections.
Cleaner Audio - Clearer Video - Reliable Data.
5. Formulation:
5%
DeoxIT® Gold G100L
75% Odorless mineral spirits (CAS 64742-88-7)
20% DIFLUOROETHANE (CAS 75-37-6)
6. Which DeoxIT® product do I Use:
Use DeoxIT® D-Series contact treatment on surfaces that have been in service or have visual signs of

7. Directions for Use:
1. Turn off, unplug the device.
2. On surfaces that have been in service or have visual signs of oxidation or corrosion pre-treat with DeoxIT®
D-Series (D5S-6) contact rejuvenator (see Data Sheet DS-D5S-6).
3. Apply one short burst of DeoxIT® Gold G-Series contact enhancer to contact/connector surface.
4. Operate the part/device to help distribute the DeoxIT® Gold and break up minor amounts of oxides
and contamination. Wait a few seconds, reapply one short burst. Wait two minutes before turning on
equipment. Test for compatibility before use.
5. If you notice a green or black coloration on the surface (may take a few days) after applying DeoxIT®,
this indicates dissolved oxidation (surface was severely oxidized). Repeat step “2-4” above.
6. For extended protection: For severe environments (humidity, salts, pollutants, sulfur, outdoor
applications, etc.) apply DeoxIT® Shield S-Series after applying DeoxIT® Gold G-Series.
7. NOTE: To prevent overspray or spraying in unwanted areas, you can always spray onto a lint-free swab
or cloth first and then using the swab/cloth apply the DeoxIT® to the connector/contact surface(s).

IMPORTANT:
Rating, 100% DeoxIT®: Any of the above that fall into the “Fair” and “Poor” categories should be thoroughly tested
for compatibility. They may be compatible, however, it will depend on the manufacturing process of the materials.
Acrylics, ABS, and polycarbonate, if under stress, may show slight cracking or crazing damage. Test for compatibility
before use. On porous materials; i.e. wood, rubber, cloth, some phenolics, semi-cured materials, no liquid or solvents
should be used. Occasionally, DeoxIT® will get onto unwanted surfaces, quickly wipe off surface and usually no
damage will occur.
Rating, with solvents: Similar to rating above (100% DeoxIT®). However, any rating worse than the 100% DeoxIT®
may require additional care. If DeoxIT is applied to unwanted areas or materials, wipe off surface quickly and usually
no damage will occur. Alternatively, apply DeoxIT® onto a lint-free swab or cloth first and then wipe onto desired
metal surface.
