One common misconception is that contact cleaner is conductive. It is not - one of its properties is that it is a dielectric (i.e., non-conductive) when dry. If it were conductive after drying, it would create shorts between all of the components it is sprayed on. It does improve conductivity between components by dissolving dirt and oxides & then flushing them away - but in-and-of-itself it is non-conductive.
