Very nice, thanks for the information. I did however not use Die-Electric on these connectors, they just worked themselves 'in'.

Sorry I missed this one. You can use it on deans. I also use it on my snow plow 13 pin connectors. It will not cause a short or anything of that nature. If you fly in the elements like I do I would say use it. It will repel water and other foreign matter.
I wonder why this site is so slow for me today and last night? I now see that it was resolved by gnasher. It is taking longer than usual.

I sprayed some silicon spray into the female plug and it has worked a treat!!

When I solder my Dean's, I put a tiny amount of Vaseline on the connectors, put them together, then solder. They work just fine. No sticking together.

I am reading this older post and a bit confused as to the dielectric info. We use it all the time on the old Russian wiring of Urals and sidecars. It is a life saver in ensuring the contacts to relays and such are water-resistant after use. We put it into our spark plug boots to seal against moisture, too. I have never heard about it being conductive before, but that may be the case with bulb grease, which is supposedly not the same. The Rooskie bikes are well known for their electric gremlins, so the use of dielectric grease has saved many a head-scratching moment when their lights or relays do not work for some odd reason.
