Heading back to the OP topic, lubrication and reduction in insertion force
(given presumptively clean contacts), I've read good things about NyoGel 760G
Dielectric Synthetic Grease. "Used for lubrication and protection of
electrical contacts."

I've been successfully using Deoxit and related products for many years,
after I learned of them from government projects where I was a consultant.
In a specific case: My PDP-8/E has 32K of core memory in four banks

I would suggest researching and understanding what their snake oil does before
using any Caig product.
I would suggest Caig
I would suggest researching and understanding what their snake oil does before
using any Caig product.
If the contacts are gold then I would suggest Caig ProGold followed by Caig
Shield S5. Use sparingly as it’s highly conductive and may lead to some
strange results from spraying it too freely.
You might also consider one of Caig’s Non-Conductive Buss Lubricants.

I would use caig deoxit. They have a version that has lubrication properties. I
think it is the "S" series.
