What is the best dielectric grease for electrical connections?

Pure anhydrous lanolin will stick the longest, petroleum jelly is really easy to come by.

What happens when dielectric breakdown occurs?

The dielectric,usually the insulator between the plates of a capacitor, can be overstressed by the application of too high voltages applied to the capacitor plates. The dielectric breaks down and a current flows between the plates until,either they are discharged, or an equilibrium is reached,below the working voltage of the capacitor. If the dielectric is damaged in this process he capacitor must be replaced. Some dielectric material self heal and can recover from an over voltage.


What is the material use in the capacitor?

Capacitors are named after their dielectrics. So, an 'air capacitor' uses air as its dielectric, a 'mica capacitor' uses mica as its dielectric, and so on. There are lots of different dielectric used to separate the plates of a capacitor, each with different permittivities and dielectric strengths. As the perfect dielectric (i.e. one with both a very high permittivity and a very high dielectric strength) doesn't occur, the choice of dielectric is always a compromise between it permittivity and dielectric strength.


Is dielectric strength the same as dielectric constant?

No, these are two unrelated properties of a material.

Why should you use a dielectric grease and brake pad grease to replace a coil?

The dielectric grease is to keep the electricity in the wiring where it belongs, so that the energy cannot take a "short" to ground before performing its' required task. Dielectric grease has a very high electrical insulation value, while still performing the function of a grease. You should NEVER use "brake pad grease" or any other non-specific "grease" on a coil.


What type of grease is used in spark plug boot ends to inhibit corrosion?

Dielectric grease .


What is Dielectric grease used for?

It's supposed to be non-conductive yet it transfers heat. Dielectric grease is often used with a heat-sink to transfer the heat better and it can also be used in applications where electrical components might get damp and/or hot and corrode. Most auto manufacturers are using dielectric grease or other grease compounds to protect light sockets and other electrical connections.

What grease is used in the gear selector switch of a 1996 vauxhall corsa automatic?

Dielectric grease (a.k.a. non-conductive grease) and Maplins grease would do the job. If you have the flashing S problem on cold weather, don't use the regular petroleum-based grease.
