Chuck,
Lot's of comment/debate about dielectric grease on the Internet.
Some say dielectric grease is conductive others say non-conductive. The
word dielectric means non-conductive.
Dielectric grease is applied to electrical connections to reduce or
prevent corrosion. Since dielectric grease is non-conductor why doesn't it cause
problems? If the film strength of the grease is less than the contact
pressure at the connection, the electrical circuit will make contact and the
current will flow. Electrical contacts do not have to be large in area to be
effective as long as the contact distance is short ...... if that makes
sense.
Dielectric grease is big with boating and trailering folks ...... so it
works.
If you Google dielectric grease you will find all the opinions you will
ever need and numerous suppliers.
Have fun,
