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.

Can you use vaseline to grease the distributor sockets to make it easier to put wires on sockets?
No. Use dielectric (silicon) grease.
Is it okay to use Vaseline on a light bulb to make it easier to put in and get out?
Dielectric grease would be a better choice.
Which type of dielectric is used most often in variable capacitors?
The type of dielectric most often used in variable capacitors is air. Also, trimmer capacitors often use mica.

What type of grease is used in spark plug boot ends to inhibit corrosion?
Dielectric grease .
Is dielectric grease adhesive?
No, it isn't.
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.
Does grease conduct electricity?
Typical grease off of food, plant based cooking or baking oils do not conduct electricity. However, dielectric grease,usually found in car shops,and used in car repairsÊdoes conduct electricity.Ê
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.
Where to buy dielectric grease?
Most auto parts stores sell it.

What kind of gel can you use on your car's relay chip to conduct electricity?
dielectric grease
Why is dialectric grease used on brake slide pins?
Many kinds of grease can be used for brake slide pins. They have to be heat and moisture resistant.
What do you use to lightly lube the secondary distribution center bushing well inserts?
dielectric silicone grease
Can dielectric grease be used on the contact point of a light bulb socket?
No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.
