The term is also used in other contexts, for example: to describe discharge through microscopic holes in the dielectric of capacitors.
Micro arcing in connectors occurs when the mechanical contact is seriously loose, for example due to differential thermal expansion of aluminum wire and copper terminals. The basis for my view is that unless there is a difference of electrical potential there can be no arc, and I doubt that any audio connector is so bad that it allows a measurable differential potential. Thanks.Īlbertporter.Please note that I did not assert that your fluid has no effect.only that micro arcing seems like an unlikely explanation. I may not buy Monster Cable again for this reason, but I would like to keep using the cables I have. Has anyone tried using any type of lubricating fluid to deal with this problem? I just bought some new electronics, and I don't want to have any problems like I had before. This seems strange to me - it would lubricate the connection, but wouldn't it also reduce electrical conduction? He suggested that I apply a tiny dab of automotive transmission fluid to the connectors with a Q-tip before inserting the Monster Cable. I described this problem to a local hi-fi dealer and he said that Monster Cable interconnects are known for gripping too tightly. I always try to use a gentle, twisting motion to remove the interconnects. Another time, the connector stayed on the Adcom, but the solder broke inside the amp's housing, causing an intermittent fault. One time, I removed the interconnect from my Adcom amp and part of the Adcom's connector ripped off the unit with the interconnect. I have some older Monster Cable RCA interconnects that grip the connectors on my gear too tightly.
