The traditional WD40 will clean electrical contacts, etc., but it leaves an oily deposit on the contacts which might attract dust and other particles and thus leave you with a bigger problem than you had to start. Caveat emptor. If your Latin isn't up to it, that means "let the buyer beware".
I've got a can of WD40 contact cleaner which seems to work OK on the devices I've tried it on so far.
