ON TAKEOFF, THE GEAR HANDLE SAFETY SWITCH WOULD NOT RELEASE THE GEAR TO COME UP.  MAINTENANCE CLEANED NOSE SQUAT SWITCH CONNECTOR.  SYSTEM OPS CHECKED GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR FLIGHT.  ON TAKEOFF, THE SAME PROBLEM REOCCURRED.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO MAINTENANCE, REPLACED THE SQUAT SWITCH.  SYSTEM OPS CHECKED GOOD.  (K)
