I use a product called, NO-OX-ID "A-SPECIAL".  It's from a company called
Sanchem Inc.  I "discovered" this grease when our customer specified it for
terminating wires and cables on their product that we built for them.  They
were telephone switch racks we built for the various Bell Telephone
companies.  It's a brown colored grease  I have never actually bought any
from the company since I have a small leftover can from the long gone
project.

Subject: Re: Dielectric grease

If it is possible to buy a product that will conduct electricity reliably
and equally provide protection from corrosion etc, I would love to know
where to get it.   A little while ago I was looking for such a product to
improve my Land Rover starter cable connections and voltage for the cold
weather and did not find one.   I think I read of a German product but I
cannot remember the name.    It may not be available on these shores anyway.
Most products say in the instructions that care should be taken with
electrical connections especially for high currents like starters  as
dielectric grease has basically insulating properties.      I agree it gets
used on electrical connections quite often but perhaps its best if smothered
on after the connections are tightened.
