About this deal
Hot Spot contains a high proportion of lubricating solid, including copper, aluminium and graphite, plus special corrosion inhibitors and high temperature anti-oxidants but contains no lead. In the end I purchased it and, after cleaning with alchohol, applied a tiny amount with a cotton bud to all the battery contacts of my remote controlllers that use button cell batteries.
I found this interesting chart of specific manufacturer of lubricant materials and I wonder if it is universal or only specific to this manufacturer. g. a spade or bullet connection) then using a conductive grease will probably bridge one or more pins, therefore creating a electrical pathway across pins that were not meant to be connected, previously separated by an air gap or maybe insulation; this ‘shorting’ of a connector would be the probable outcome, especially if the connector was a multipin unshielded/open-faced connector but also an expected outcome of trying to apply a conductive grease to any or all pins in a shielded multipin connector. Particularly, electrical and lubrication effects are discussed in detail along with some mechanical processes leading to a fault-free machine operation.We use vasseline all the time on connectors to get a better signal, especially on non-gold plated contacts.
Slipstream Hot Spot is a high temperature grease that has been specially formulated for many applications in harsh environmental and industrial conditions, such as those found in the steel making industry.Your main goal is to prevent oxidation and corrosion of contacts with damaged plating and Vaseline is as good as anything at that job. The shelf life of a product can be found on either the technical data sheet (TDS), available on the product page, or by looking on the certificate on conformance (COC). Conductive greases for electronics efficiently lubricate moving parts, offer superior protection against corrosion and help ensure electrical continuity between irregular surfaces. A custom-formulated, fluorinated conductive grease was recently developed by Nye for automotive battery lugs, to enhance conductivity over a wide temperature range.
The 846 carbon conductive grease from MG Chemicals is designed to help prevent corrosion and maintains and promotes electrical conductivity on your connections.
It is excellent for ground connections, rotating connections, rotary switches, variable capacitors, roller inductors, roller bearings, slip rings, slide connecters and potentiometers. Improves electrical connections between irregular or pitted surfaces and ensures electrical contact between loose or vibrating parts.
