There are some members of electronic forums that suggest coating automotive

Are they nuts? Grease between terminal elements?

What grease--if any--is best, inside or outside the terminal connection?

Thanks.


Grease can improve electrical connectivity if designed for that purpose
- check out Dow Corning #4 dialectic grease - we use it on many power
connectors and it not only reduces contact friction, and protects
against oxidation, but the connector actually is often cooler than one
without the grease added!
