WD40 'Contact Cleaner' would be fine, it seems to be a generic fast drying solvent, badged as WD40.

I have used Servisol Aero Klene 50 Electronic Cleaning Solution (aerosol) to clean mass airflow sensors.
No residue left behind.
I wouldn't use regular WD-40 for this application. It leaves an oily residue.

WD-40 Specialist Fast Drying Contact Cleaner is new to me. I've not seen it before.

Cleans oil, dirt, dust, flux residue and condensation from electrical components
Dries quickly, leaving no residue
Is safe to use on sensitive electrical equipment
Creeps into hard to reach areas on circuit boards and contact points

The WD40 Specialist, Fast Drying Contact Cleaner with Smart Straw, Electrical & Electronics Maintenance, 400 ml worked great.
