2. Engine Control Unit Connectors
Many times, these types of connectors use back-seals for
moisture integrity. However, the low-force contacts cannot
displace dielectric grease and create electrical contact. It is
possible to use solvents (i.e. contact cleaner or mineral
spirits) for the removal of improperly applied dielectric
grease.
3. Sealed Enclosures
Application of dielectric grease is not required in properly
sealed enclosures. To meet criteria, the enclosure must be
rated to at least IP66 (dust tight; protected from powerful jets
of water). The enclosure must be fitted with a high quality,
continuous gasket and all wiring must pass through cable
entrances.
4. MIL-C-5015 Spec Connector’s
The dielectric grease is not recommended for this series
connector. For similar model series connectors, the
manufacturer should be contacted for confirmation before
applying dielectric grease.
5. CMC Series Connectors
The CMC connector family is a sealed, high-density
connection system using matte-seal technology for
CP 0.635 and 1.50mm terminals. To guarantee IP6K7 and
IP6K9 sealing, a seal plug option is used. However, the
low-force contacts cannot displace dielectric grease and
create electrical contact. It is possible to use solvents (i.e.
contact cleaner or mineral spirits) for the removal of
improperly applied dielectric grease.
