MG Chemicals 846-80G Carbon Conductive Grease, 80g Tube, Black

Product Information

Some of the metals used to make conductive grease include copper, lithium, zinc, aluminum, and silver. Silver grease is the best type of conductive grease because electrons in silver are freer to move than in other metals. Uses of conductive grease The ‘go to’ connector lubricant for the majority of customers – widely used and the most cost effective product.

The following are some commonly asked questions regarding dielectric grease and its many applications. How do you remove dielectric grease from connectors? Tribosyn 330 is our most cost effective connector grease and will deal with 95% of our customer requests… Tribosyn 330 Dielectric grease, also referred to as tune-up grease, is a silicon-based lubricant that helps repel moisture and provide corrosion protection to parts and electrical connections on and in your vehicle. It has many uses both in the auto shop and at home, including: This makes conductive grease best anti-corrosion paste for battery terminals. It repels dirt and inhibits corrosion just like dielectric grease. But the main advantage is that it improves electrical conductivity at the battery terminal connection. In other words, you will still have a solid electrical connection even when the conductive grease enters between the terminal connector and the battery post. It prevents dirt and debris from permeating the connection and potentially harming the spark plug or prompting it to misfireFollowing these tips can greatly enhance your battery’s lifespan and performance, reducing the likelihood of unexpected battery issues. Environmental Considerations

When the electrical connection of a circuit breaker in the panel becomes weak and does not improve with tightening the screw, it means you need to replace the bus bar or wire terminal. Vehicle Type: High-performance vehicles or those with heavy electrical demands might benefit from a grease with higher conductivity and heat resistance, like copper grease. For regular passenger cars, a standard petroleum-based or white lithium grease would typically suffice. Using dielectric grease on stabilizers is a non-automotive application. Stabilizers are used in keyboards to provide balance across keys. They need protection and a little lubrication to continue functioning as designed. Distributor CapGold plated will quite often still need a connector grease as the gold plating is microscopically porous and can easily be compromised, especially during initial mating of the connector.

I find copper slip somewhat messy to use and can stain clothes. I keep both in my tool box, copper slip for nut and bolt assembly and di-electric grease for electrical. Vaseline being a good substitute. I feel like they help, but I'm not sure if that is true. I use Noalox on clamped aluminum slip joints in antennas because it is generally less The dispersed powder causes an issue that dielectric grease does not have. The hanging metal must be completely compatible with the constrained metals. As a result, conductive grease has to be used for a specific application. The connection will eventually fail if the metals clamped are incompatible with the grease’s suspended metal powder. This is what occurred with the plugs in our CATV system. Copper, aluminum, and steel were used to make the connections. The trunk center conductors cables were copper wrapped aluminum, while the cable shields were aluminum. Aluminum shields and connectors were used on drop cables, with copper clad steel centers. Corrosion failure was far more common when conductive grease was used, according to our records. When we switched to pure dielectric grease, the rate of corrosion failure dropped dramatically, virtually to nil. Dielectric grease is available in any major auto-parts store. It is also available in larger department stores. Finally, there are dozens of outlets online that sell name-brand dielectric grease as well as several brand alternatives. FAQs When you use silicone-based grease on the battery terminals, you can stop corrosion from occurring. However, it doesn’t seem logical to put this non-conductive grease on battery terminals.While grease does not migrate in the typical sense, most grease does experience some ‘oil separation’ where some of the oil that is contained within the grease can migrate away from the applied area. Flooding with an appropriate insulating grease of low-viscosity dielectric grease is totally allowed in ordinary low voltage multiple-pin circuit connectors, such as automotive applications, unless a manufacturer cautions against it. The grease should be stable, free of metals in any form, and manufactured expressly for use as a dielectric grease. Although some Teflon-based greases are permitted, this is usually a silicone dielectric grease.

The primary benefit of applying grease is its ability to prevent corrosion. Corrosion can occur due to a reaction between the battery terminals and the acidic fumes released by the battery. Permatex makes a dielectric grease that lists both silicon dioxide and polydimethylsiloxane as ingredients. If you look at the color of this grease, it should appear milky or translucent gray. Dielectric Grease Pros 1. Creates Seal The best outcome is at the bottom. By roughing up the heatsink with 300 grit paper, all greases were tested in “scuffed” circumstances.Myth: Grease Causes Electrical Problems: Fact: When applied correctly, grease does not impede electrical conductivity. In fact, it helps maintain it by preventing corrosion. is clear/translucent in appearance and so can be hard to see in thin layers – it has a UV tracer/dye included in the formula to aid visibility in small amounts. Due to the loss of the initial lubricant caused by loading, bending, and stretching of the cable after it is put into service, relubrication is required. The heat from evaporation causes the fiber core cables to dry out over time, and they frequently collect moisture. Relubrication in the field is required to prevent corrosion, protect and preserve the rope core and wires, and so extend the wire rope’s service life.
