Just so there is no confusion, dielectric grease is an INSULATOR. It
belongs on the rubber boot of the cable NOT on the metal connector part.
It keeps crap away from the electrical connection.
If you do put in on the connector part a good tight fit will push the
grease away and the electrical connection will happen at that part in
spite of the insulation you put on it.

 >>Dielectric grease is electrically insulating and does not break
down when high voltage is applied. It is often applied to electrical
connectors, particularly those containing rubber gaskets, as a means
of lubricating and sealing rubber portions of the connector without arcing.<<
