[QUOTE="olsonm3915, post: 606552, member: 14510"] Using dielectric grease on a purpose-made electrical contact does not hurt the quality of the connection, because the grease is displaced where the contacts touch each other. In other words, there is metal-to-metal contact everywhere there should be, just as if the grease wasn't there. It does not participate in the connection and does not insulate the contacts from each other since they touch each other with enough force to cut through the grease. Again, the purpose of the dielectric grease is to coat the exposed metal surfaces of the contacts and prevent them from corroding. I briefly looked at that website for the conductive grease- use it if you want, but I sure wouldn't. [/QUOTE]
