Any advice on getting GGTS button to be consistent?

[gtbb]

I'm not positive but I don't think so. We use NO OX ID "A" at work for connections supporting 5000-10,000 amp power plants.
You should be able to find it in the electrical section of Home Depot. Let me know if you can't find it...I'll send you a sample to try.

edit: and I just received word from Imeo that he is sending brass springs with the GGTS/UFS order.

I use DeoxIT gold series products. With great results on conductive performance on all my equipment. I do use Nolox at work on 480v and higher for longevity of the connection in adverse climates.

new springs that I send to Bruce are brass river. Exept Bruce still sells the old ones

Hey Imeo, what material where the springs that where preinstalled in the current batch GGTS? because i noticed that mine is magnetic and there is the yellow color coming off after 4 days of use.

Brass plated steel?

Luckily i put some brass springs on preorder too, that where really brass.

 

[imeothanasis]

no, only brass poppa

Imeo,
Do you still use nickel plated brass spring posts in the GGTS end cap?


Sent from my brilliantly capable phone using my limited typing skills.

 

[imeothanasis]

I dont know about witch batch you are talking moep, but the batch that I send to Bruce before 1 week has brass springs

is NO OX ID "A" the same as Noalox?

No its not, No Ox Id is a conductive grease. Use very little and wipe most off. Noalox is non-conductive and gums up everything you put it on. Throw it out.

 

[imeothanasis]

Tob, your style shows me a person that wants to open a fight. We dont need that. So if you are kind enough please do what you have to do but not here. Thank you

 

[tobarger]

I totally understand where you're coming from Sir

Noalox has zinc which is conductive. 10x more conductive than stainless steel in fact. There are indeed things than work better but for the application here, it is perfectly fine. I 100% agree with you about the gumming, but a periodic cleaning takes care of this, you do clean your ggts right?

 

[smitty727]

I clean mine every time I change the coil and Noalox gummed mine up big time. Won't use it again and if I remember correctly Imeo also advised against using Noalox. Pardon me Imeo if I'm wrong but I think I'm correct.

Noalox is highly conductive. You apply to parts you do not want to have problems with in the future. It is not some thing that you want to have to apply and clean off as we do with our equipment. There are far better products out there for us to use to our advantage and easier to use at that.

Ok calm down...lol. You realy need to use the right stuff for the job. That Noalox is not for electrical , it is for conduit pipe anti corrosion.

You need to use siliconized dielectric gel , the stuff you use on electrical applications.

So if you ever put spark plug wires on your car / boat / motor cycle ,ect..., you should use the siliconized dielectric gel on the wire connection to the plug, put in the rubber boot cup and connect. Tha same at the other end at the distributer cap and coil.

Also use it on light bulbs and sockets, battery connections , ect...It is a great lubricant and air , moisture , dirt , seal.
And is non-conductive.

There is a conductive grease that is Silver-based thermal grease contains highly conductive metal particles. However I'm thinking that would wear threads out !

For a thread lube on electrical I would use the siliconized dielectric gel or silicon dielectric gel or dielectric grease.

But me , I'm the guy that uses plain ole 100% pure petroleum jelly like vaseline , not K-Y jelly......lol


PEACE -&- Best Wishes

You need to be nice !!! You do Not even know who your talking to. Being smart like that saying ; (you do clean your ggts right?). Was Not Necessary.

Dspin has the cleanest , the most shiny mods in the world and here on ECF !!! Weather or not it is made of , Nickel , Brass , Aluminum ,
Stainless Steel , Titaniuam , ect. , no matter. And this Dspin IS KNOWN FOR ! ! ! and He is a great guy and good friend to many ,,many people here on ECF.

Let's be nice and helpful.

Chill. Did you somehow miss the smiley bud? I was being helpful, Noalox will improve the firing of the OP's button without the slightest doubt in my mind. It will however gunk it up a bit and make cleaning take a touch longer. It works for me and I the couple extra minutes cleaning a month is not a big concern for me.

Think you're looking too much into one sentence, and I'm pretty sure he was joking around.

 

[imeothanasis]

yes, noalox doesnt offer something to our needs and its messy too smitty. When all people were recommending noalox I did the opossite

I clean mine every time I change the coil and Noalox gummed mine up big time. Won't use it again and if I remember correctly Imeo also advised against using Noalox. Pardon me Imeo if I'm wrong but I think I'm correct.

 

[imeothanasis]

I think that if you clean your GGTS is more than enough gsa. I dont see a reason for noalox if we clean our GGTS regularly. For example, noalox cant do anything on dirty surfaces. So before you put noalox you have to clean your GGTS. But if you clean it first then you dont need noalox

Noalox has zinc which is conductive. 10x more conductive than stainless steel in fact. There are indeed things than work better but for the application here, it is perfectly fine. I 100% agree with you about the gumming, but a periodic cleaning takes care of this, you do clean your ggts right?

gsa had no bad intensions Mr, no worries

Happy Thanksgiving folks!

 

[gsa]

All I know is that my ggts fires perfectly every single time I press the button, before noalox that was simply not the case regardless of how clean everything was and my fingers got a little sore from mashing the button. Pressing it off to the side a bit like someone suggested does work but is not so ergonomic of a solution for me anyways. Just sharing what worked for me and it is oly a $3 proposition so not much to lose by giving it a shot. I do have new fuse kit on preorder and I am looking forward to that, perhaps as Imeo suggest it will solve any firing issues I have had in past.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[imeothanasis]

happy thanksgiving gsa
Brass pin will stop any issues on button gsa. My first pins were made of brass. Then I thought to make them of SS to avoid cleaning. Nice thought but it didnt work well. Now we come back to brass ones.
