The *ONLY* reason you might consider greasing the connector is for
waterproofing. You'll have a good connection with or without the
lube. There's nothing better than metal to metal. However, if you're
using dissimilar metals on the connector, you may have a problem that
Vaseline isn't going to solve. I suggest you read some of the replies
to your question. There's considerable good info and advice in there.
