Omfg so glad I found this, my problem is I have multiple points in my harnes that is a conjunction for ground,dash board like a Christmas tree! Ever light know to man. Just can’t be right! My car sits A LOT, so I cleaned g101 g151 ect.. used "dielectric grease" thinking it would keep corrosion away. everything mint for a year as I periodically ran it because it just sits well this past year it got put away yesterday had to play musical cars and the plaque is back. I read problem is dielectric grease properties doesn’t allow condensation from contact metal to pass threw causing corrosion , completely opposite of how oil would separate for water it breaths, my question what is better than oil as this car sits way more than it should, it’s just way to expensive to race right now

Welp I heard about it and didn’t look how to use I thought I was going good I jumped a gun and got it. We did all the wires in my boat and pretty much dunked every end in grease and I used a lot of 1/0 awg to the little wires for every single battery amp and light now I’m look if I messed up and need to take it off some how but everything works no problem so….

I'm thinking of using the grease on the inside of my juliet connector on my ebike. The 9 pins are known to suffer corrosion A lot of amps go through there and they get warm and when they cool can draw in moisture leading to corrosion. I've seen examples of them melting due to bad contacts.

Edit down to 3 mins. Thank you for trying.

thank you very much for the technical information and the humorous background. great video.

I have used die electric grease on automotive 12 volt connections for several years and have never had a connection resistance issue. I have especially on my brother in law snowplow pump connection where snow and water are a constant problem. that is when I started using die electric grease and never had connection problems after that. have used dozens of times on the end of spark plug boots and never a m8sfire issue.

OEM tech support concurs with this assessment...........

I have used it on auto and home electrical contacts and it works fine. Keeps the contacts from oxidizing I refurbish old fans from the 20s to the 30s. I use this on the open contacts used, similar to the points on a vintage car. Works fine. Never had an issue.

Nice video, but I'm a little confused. Are you measuring millivolts or milliohms? You start off with one but keep repeating the latter. Thx

Vaseline is good for other activities, too!

When dielectric grease first came out I had mechanics (now called techs) tell me to coat the terminals with it. In fact, with those early electronic modules they would say to squirt the whole connector full of grease before plugging the connectors together. Maybe back then the product wasn't fully understood (or the people selling it said, "just squeeze it all over everything!"). The reason I think it worked in many applications is that, as demonstrated here, when the connections are pressed together there would be tight metal-to-metal contact inside the connector and the grease would seal everything around it. I'm thinking, now that the product is better understood, it probably makes sense to think about your application. Are the connectors going to go together tightly, scraping the grease away with metal-to-metal contact as they are pressed together? Or, are you going to have a connection where you can't count on a scraping action to create metal to metal contact when the connection is assembled? I've typically coated the connections on my car battery with dielectric. I can't recall it causing observable problems. But, I'm thinking it is probably wiser to clean the connections, assemble the connections, then use dielectric just to seal over the top. AGS has a video where they install the red and blue felts first and coat the surface of the felts with a little dielectric which I guess might help seal the bottom of the connection. Not a bad idea. -- On second thought, if you seal the bottom and any water, even from condensation gets in there, it cannot drain off. Maybe better to leave the bottom unsealed? [shrug]

You need some music

There are only a few situations you should use non-conductive grease. As for measuring grease resistance, this is useless. Electrical connections are metal to metal, the grease stops corrosion and air gap issues. Any grease will work, you don’t need a special grease.

Good video you did, keep up the good work 👍🏻

Thank you for making this video! You put my mind at ease. 👍

thanks for taking the time to clearly demonstrate it. unlike the other commentors i appreciate that you had the detailed explanation of what you are doing

THANK FOR SHARING THAT! 👍 I'VE "FIXED" SO MANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SIMPLY USING DIELECTRIC GREASE. JUST SAY NO TO GREEN COPPER! 😅

Actual parts your looking for starts at 14:30!

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴 boooooooring could of made this video in 3 minutes… loves talking

I have been an electrician for 50 years. In my own home I have used Vaseline on the prongs of outlets for ever. They always connect without issue.

this video should be 90 seconds, not 19 min. You have a lot to learn.

Al grano

I think it would of been better if you had a resistor in between your leads

Thank you for convincing me that dielectric does not conduct electricity.

You have a lot to learn. What you are doing is a shortcut. You are not reading actual resistance. You have the idea and a good intention, but not the knowledge

👎

Zzzzzzzzzzz you just about lost me with the whole "see it takes the paint off" comment. You really should've done a "real world" experiment with actual male/female automotive 2 pin connectors with one side as a loop. Measuring voltage drop/resistance when plugging the connector together, completing the circuit. Alligator test clips from your power apply with multimeter test points.

and now ppl use this for keyboard💀

are you sure your one A current is not too large for your experiment?

Great expirement

Good video. Thanks for not adding music.

This is like AvE if you're not into the whole brevity thing...

I had to stop watching at the 8 minute mark. 8 minutes in and the guy is still just rabbiting on. I mean this as constructive criticism : get to the point. Peace out.

Thanks for the visible clarification through contact testing under load compared to the definitions given based on linguistics. What is your experience with when the car fuse box\ relay box has corrosion what do you use to remove the corrosion? What is the dry-out point for such a grease under electrical load? Is this the same type of silicone grease used in the brake assembly for the slide pins where it is coming in contact with the rubber or silicone boots and seals? I I definitely am confused after still spending 2 hours to learn if I can use the permatex silicone dielectric grease I have from autozone for the slide pin and potential the brake caliper piston for fear that the lubricant has to be correct for the seals and boots also!

Few times I saw so much clumsiness in the way of working! What a video disaster! Turning on the multimeter and moving the selector. BEING CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE is a terrible class for students !!!

A micro-ohm meter is a good solution.

I would like to see this test done with an electrical. connector applying the grease the way people do over the top of the female end.

it ALSO guards against corrosion, WIN WIN !!!

I'm not sure if I missed it but what are the overall dimensions of the camper? Awesome video!

thanks, exactly what I am looking for. Just jump to 13min for the meat.

Excellent demonstration. Thank you.

19+ minutes of gibberish. 11min in, still not even close to answering the premise of the vid.

Probably the most boring lacklustre video I've seen that coupled shit music to cap of my experience. Sadly I was really interested in the subject matter. Video close ups did nothing to frame the project. We don't need constant close ups of laminated plywood.

Can't afford conventional circuit simulators? scout androidcircuitsolver on google

My car is completely dead everything is bolted tight it didn't work out for me and a lot of people in the Daytona Jeep or an SUV had the same thing knocks out the computer

Really looking forward to this build.
