    Hello,

    What would be the best way to clean opto's and the mini boards attached to them? Thanks!

    I'd dunk them in an ultrasonic cleaner.

    Desolder them from the wires

    Disassemble them

    Use a small brush with Isopropyl Alcohol through Kim wipes.

    reverse the above and done.

    Good to know I can use both options. Don't have an ultrasonic cleaner so I'll probably go the Alcohol route. I think I will leave the wires on them since I rather not risk damaging them. Thanks both of you!
