Just spoke to the electronics chaps upstairs, they say
Copper greese, if your going to greese the contact then
it's is good to use this. Well fitting new spade conecters
pushed together then greesed is probebly best.
Don't use it when your crimping, it stops the micro weld
you get when the metal is pressed together.
To stop corrosion, crimp your contacts, then solder, and
let the solder be taken into the wire, and crimp. This
stops corrosion spreading up the wire, and keeps the crimp
good. Watch out though because the wire where the solder has
been soked up will be stiff, and at the end of that bit is the
part most likly to snap, if there is alot of movement.
