The difference between dielectric and insulator lies in its field of application.
Dielectrics are used to store the electric charges, while insulators are used to block the flow of electric charges ( they more or less act like a wall).
While all dielectrics are insulators (they don't allow the flow of electric charges through them) all insulators aren't dielectric because they can't store charges unlike dielectrics.
Resistor is a current a insulator is a not conductive and conductors can conduct.
The dielectric strenght of a transformer represents the maximum voltage permissible to apply across the transformer insulation i.e. between the transformer winding to another part of the transformer, normally the chassis or another winding and without break-down of the insulation ocurring (e.g. arcing). The breakdown voltage of a transformer represents a voltage that exceeds its dielectric strenght and that causes breakdown e.g. arcing across the insulation.

A dielectric is an insulator between the plates of a capacitor. They allow us to build the plates closer together, without allowing them to short together, thereby increasing capacitance.
The charge in a capacitor is between the plates. The dielectric is only an insulator that allows the plates to be very close without touching and discharging the charge. There is no battery in a capacitor.
It's called the Dielectric
One field in which this is helpful is in the manufacture of insulating materials. Dielectric strength determines the strongest electric field an insulator can withstand before it fails. For example, if the insulation around a wire melts or breaks, the insulator's dielectric strength is compromised.

A conductor is a material which allows elctronic flow through it with some finite (though usually very small) resistance as opposed to a dielectric, the other name for an insulator, that provides ideally infinite resistance to current flow at all temperatures.
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.
Generally, 'insulators' are also called 'dielectrics'. But the term 'insulator' and 'dielectric' really refer to the properties of such materials. 'Insulator' describes the property of opposing current flow (or, strictly speaking, 'not supporting' current flow, due to its relative lack of charge carriers), while 'dielectric' refers to the property of supporting the establishment of an electric field which, in turn, acts to polarise its atoms and establish a (temporary) displacement current whenever a potential difference is first applied (or changed in magnitude).
Mica is an insulator of electricity and heat.
According to a few charts I was able to find, the most realistic material with the highest dielectric strength happens to be Mica, with dielectric strength of 118.
Mica is an insulator. It has high dielectric strength and low electrical conductivity, making it a good insulating material for electronics and electrical applications.
