Steve/all;
I have been wondering the same thing.... Which then led me to ask, is
dielectric grease better applied to *assembled *components or to the
*/all*components
which are then assembled? I'd like to believe that dielectric grease won't
block the flow of current or degrade the quality of a connection. Comments?
