another electrical question...

[Cruez]

This is more or less of an experiment..

What can I use to corrode an electrical connector ??

This is on a 12v system... automotive connector.

Antifreeze would be a good choice.

[DanU]

I thought anti-freeze has anti-corrosive additives to protect the aluminum (or copper) radiator.

A good test of corrosion protection is to use a salt-water spray.

[woodbutcher]

Pretty much what Dan said.
You could dip the connector in water and throw salt on it.

I'll try the salt water treatment.... I thought that may do the trick but I wasn't sure if there was anything faster.

If you clean the connector very thoroughly with steel wool, and some low concentrate acid, like muriatic, it will corrode much faster. That will remove any oils used in manufacture and expose fresh metal to the atmosphere.
