Re: [ST] That's the connection

Don't know about your dielectric grease.  The silicon stuff is probably
for thermal connection to heatsinks.  I would expect a dielectric to
insulate!

The saga continues:

I'm not managing to come up with a single fool around here that has ever
heard of dielectric grease. That's probably because they call it
something else, or just don't use it at all.

I've tried all sorts of places -electrical wholesalers, motor
electricians, bike shops, car spare parts places, hardware shops.

I can get something they call "hi-temp silicon grease", which looks the
same as the stuff smeared into my switches -a clear "Vaseline" like
substance.

Anyone know if it's the same stuff? Will it work to keep the connectors
from fusing/ rusting etc?

[ It also turns out that a lot of web based places wont deal with anyone
trying to pay with a credit card from anywhere in Africa, thanks to the
Nigerian credit card fraud syndicates which have infiltrated most
African countries. ]

Let me make one further suggestion...If you use butt connectors instead
of soldering, do two things:

1) Put some dielectric grease inside the butt connector before using it,
helps prevent future corrosion. At least do this. It wont cost you more
than a small tube of the stuff, which you should have around anyway.
