Product Information

It is also used to improve electrical continuity between irregular and pitted surfaces, as well as providing an economical way to protect switches against corrosion. Please complete the purchase (or remove the quote – don't worry it's still available in My Account) before adding these additional items. Ideally a connector grease is used as a preventative maintenance action, it’s also a dependable fix for an ‘in service’ problem where it is possible to issue a service bulletin or other field service instruction for the relevant connector; this service bulletin could be accompanied by introducing the use of connector grease during the manufacturing stage or loom assembly stage of the harness/circuit.

I've always just used whatever oil/grease was handy, usually Vaseline or automotive wheel bearing/chassis grease and never had any issues, up to and including lead acid car/truck batteries.I found this interesting chart of specific manufacturer of lubricant materials and I wonder if it is universal or only specific to this manufacturer. The 846 carbon conductive grease from MG Chemicals is designed to help prevent corrosion and maintains and promotes electrical conductivity on your connections. They are ideal for surface-to-surface, fixed or sliding, contact areas requiring lubrication while maintaining electrical continuity. The application of a conductive grease on an electrical connector in a volume production project would be considered a crazy decision, in the opinion of the article author. The shelf life of a product can be found on either the technical data sheet (TDS), available on the product page, or by looking on the certificate on conformance (COC).

We use two types of silica as a thickener in our grease range, both fumed silica and hydrophobic silica.g. if you put Vaseline on spark plugs the spark can arc through it and carbonise it, and the catch fire. The 8481 grease is similar to the 846 grease but 8481 is silicone free and contains more corrosion inhibitors. Slipstream Hot Spot is a high temperature grease that has been specially formulated for many applications in harsh environmental and industrial conditions, such as those found in the steel making industry. MG Chemicals 8481 carbon conductive grease has been designed to lubricate and improve your electrical connections between sliding surfaces and parts.
