I hate to be "that guy" but I'm a spring maker and I can tell you that brass is available in spring temper and that a lot of battery terminals are made from it and bronze. 17-7 stainless steel is also popular. The problem is the plating, once we got away from nickel it was all down hill from there.

Just a note. A dielectric is an insulator - not a conductor. So that stuff is non-conducting grease. The circuit still relies on metal-to-metal contact. The grease apparently protects the metals from oxidation or environmental contaminents. Anyway, thanks, your videos are always great; I look forward to each one.

A great tutorial on terminal corrosion. A small and maybe picky point: dielectric grease is a good idea, but not because it is conductive--it is not. It is actually usefully non-conductive, though it does not interfere appreciably with current flow through conductors in good contact with each other. It can protect the connection from the elements, reduce corrosion and reduce voltage leakage that would otherwise happen through surface moisture.

Many years ago one of the monthly tasks was to use an pencil eraser on our backup cryptographic equipment. The device was an improvement on the German WW2 "enigma" machine addressing several of enigma's shortcomings. It had rotors like the enigma machine and all the brass contacts around the side of each rotor had to be scrubbed clean. After that the machine was set up and tested before being packed away for another month. A good stand-alone eraser usually works better than the pencil erasers that are usually too hard... though the pencil erasers are handier to use in a tight spot. Cheers from NC/USA

There are many chemicals that can be used - I always have denatured alcohol on the bench - so that is what I use. For printed circuit connectors (the gold ones printed on the edge of the board), we used a mechanical eraser (a motorized eraser).
