The Design Engineer's Guide to Selecting a Connector Grease
The number of electrical connectors and electronic circuits in devices such as cars, planes, appliances, industrial machinery, trucks and boats are continuously growing. Failure of these components, from short circuit to continuity loss, present a major concern as issues can vary from nuisance to increased warranty costs to critical safety problems. The constant exposure to moisture, corrosive environments, and vibration can accelerate the failure or malfunction of the electrical system and electronic controls of the vehicle.
