How to use dielectric grease Sealing Connection
Dielectric grease is designed to protect electrical connections against contaminants such as dust, salt and moisture. It is most often used in cars and motorcycles, where it can ensure that spark plugs receive an uninterrupted flow of current and that external electrical systems (such as headlights) do not foul you up from the sand thrown from the road. As a lubricant, it also makes it easier for these parts to be disconnected and maintained. Applying a layer of dielectric grease to seal a connection is a simple and quick process.
Explanation
Turn off the vehicle and remove the ignition key to ensure that there is no power flowing through the ignition system. If you use dielectric grease in a household electrical connection, turn off the electrical supply to the circuit by flipping the “Off” circuit breaker on the building switch panel.
Disconnect the two parts whose connection you wish to lubricate.
Wipe off any dirt or grease with a cloth.
Use a battery cleaner to clean the battery contacts are greased. This cleaner is a liquid solvent is sprayed on the battery contacts, and then wiped with a cloth. You can also use a small brush, stiff wire to clean dirt from metal surfaces that carry electrical current.
Spread a thin layer of dielectric grease on the two pieces which is connected with a soft cloth. Do not use a thick layer of grease because metal conductors need to contact each other.
Reconnect the parts. The dielectric grease layer will the connectors and keep dirt and dust out of them. If you notice any problems with the connection after greasing, clean and repeat the process with less grease.
Purpose of dielectric grease
Because it does not conduct electricity, dielectric grease is used in many electrical applications to ensure a metal-to-metal connection sound. It provides lubrication and protection without adding significant volume.
Ingredients
Silicone oil and silica are the main ingredients of dielectric grease.
Function
Dielectric grease is used in metal electrical connections to prevent moisture and corrosion. It is often used to provide a seal and protect rubber gaskets in electrical connectors.
Uses
Dielectric grease is often used in spark plugs. It is applied to the rubber boot of the spark plug cable, helping it slide easily into the ceramic insulator of the plug. The grease not only helps seal the rubber cover, but also prevents it from adhering to the ceramic.
Benefits
Because dielectric grease is non-conductive, it does not allow any electricity to bleed out of the connection. It is also designed to withstand extremely high temperatures.
Considerations
Never apply dielectric grease to an oxygen sensor connector. Over time, the grease will compromise the sensor and prohibit proper operation.
What is dielectric grease used?
Dielectric grease is a non-conductive, water-resistant, thick compound that protects electrical components and connections. It also lubricates mounted connections, such as spark plugs and the rubber boots that are placed over them.
Uses
Dielectric grease is a common commercial lubricant and sealant for spark plugs, battery terminals and other electrical connections. It acts as a barrier against moisture, and also prevents contaminants such as salt and dust from damaging or corroding these connections. Its heat resistance makes it safe for use in automobile engines and other high temperature applications.
Composition
Silicon is the main ingredient of dialectic fat, and gives the compound its waterproof and heat-resistant properties. In fact, dielectric fat consists almost entirely of silicone oil thickened with diatom silica.
Safety
Dielectric grease is an eye and slightly irritating skin, so you should wear protective gloves and goggles when working with it. It does not contain known carcinogens, and has no special handling or disposal requirements.
