Dielectric Grease.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I use dielectric on pretty much everything I do. Well, electrically, anyway.

But this is going to be an argument. It's like "what your favorite style of beer" discussions. For example:

Dielectric grease is an insulator.

Of course it is. That's the wole point (along with stopping oxidation). You *want* it to be electrically non-conductive, because the physical contact of the pins is what clears the grease and makes the electrical contact.

You don't want the grease conducting an electrical current to adjacent pin housing connections (for example).

And...go!
