It inhibits corrosion and repels humidity providing an economical way to protect switches or to bridge the gap between contacting surfaces for EMI shielding applications. HCG is a copper-filled, water resistant, non-melting grease, ideal for application where low electrical resistivity is required. MG Chemicals 8481 carbon conductive grease has been designed to lubricate and improve your electrical connections between sliding surfaces and parts. Note: Never use conductive grease on sliding switches, which could malfunction if a conductive grease is applied to the contacts.

Ideally a connector grease is used as a preventative maintenance action, it’s also a dependable fix for an ‘in service’ problem where it is possible to issue a service bulletin or other field service instruction for the relevant connector; this service bulletin could be accompanied by introducing the use of connector grease during the manufacturing stage or loom assembly stage of the harness/circuit. Let them help you identify product alternatives, source additional technical data and find answers to your technical questions. It relies primarily on a synergistic effect among its additives, not carbon or metallic filler, to create an electron pathway through the grease. g. if you put Vaseline on spark plugs the spark can arc through it and carbonise it, and the catch fire.First look looking good and after when unopen u will see the paste inside It's wery strong and hard to get out from tube to use. Use 8481 when you want a lubricating grease that provides great electrical contact and extreme environmental protection. g. automotive), then using a conductive grease on electrical connectors should be ruled out as an option. Vaseline is specified by some manufacturers of precision resistance boxes as a switch contact lubricant.

If you are reading this because your connector has already failed or is failing intermittently, effective cleaning of the connector followed by an application of a quality dielectric electrical connector grease is the best solution. I am an electrician by trade, I was sceptical at first, but this work great for cleaning up some electrical connections. Any effect that the grease has on conductivity is indirect and long term, by preventing deterioration of the contact interface due to corrosion. NyoGel® 756G relies on a proprietary carbon filler, rather than traditional metallic particles, for conductivity.For example, it is applied to ball bearings in computer equipment where it allows static discharge to pass through the bearing instead of building up, arcing, and pitting the rolling element or fluting the raceway - accelerating wear. A stiff, lithium soap thickened, light viscosity, channeling synthetic ester grease intended for demanding bearing applications.

CircuitWorks ® Silver Conductive Grease provides maximum electrical and thermal conductivity, proven lubrication properties, and protection from moisture, oxidation, and other environmental hazards. It looks like some greases work well with silicones but others do not and only silicone oil works well with silicones. I've always just used whatever oil/grease was handy, usually Vaseline or automotive wheel bearing/chassis grease and never had any issues, up to and including lead acid car/truck batteries. It is ideal for applications such as furnace door hinges, metal to metal slide and glide systems, plain bearings, kiln car wheels, valves and threaded pipe connections. It serves a similar purpose in treadmills, where the rubber belt can generate static electricity which makes its way to the bearing.

Payment can be made online by debit/credit card or you can request a pro-forma invoice to pay by BACS. I also have small electronic devices that require me turning batteries a few times to start functioning. Quote from: Boris_yo on January 14, 2022, 01:14:10 pm Asked about silicone dielectric grease that I saw being sold on. It is excellent for ground connections, rotating connections, rotary switches, variable capacitors, roller inductors, roller bearings, slip rings, slide connecters and potentiometers.Conductive greases for electronics efficiently lubricate moving parts, offer superior protection against corrosion and help ensure electrical continuity between irregular surfaces. If the connector to be dosed with grease is anything but the most simplistic connector (such as a spade connector), the grease application method will end up being far too intricate and the possibility of introducing a fault will be too hight.
