Alpha Series A4001 dielectric grease is supplied in a 3g tube. This non-conductive silicone grease is an installation accessory for applications that permit it; check the connector or lamp manufacturer's instructions before use.
- Product / SKU: Alpha Series dielectric grease / A4001
- Package: One 3g tube
- Type: Non-conductive silicone grease
- Selection check: Confirm that the connector, seal and assembly procedure permit dielectric grease
Before installation
Use the amount and application location specified for the actual connector or lamp. Do not use grease to compensate for damaged terminals, loose contacts, failed seals or an incorrect connector. A sealed connector may have its own lubrication requirements, so follow those rather than applying grease to every contact by default.
Product questions and answers
How much grease is supplied?
This listing is for one 3g tube. The number of applications depends on the connector and its specified amount; a tube should not be treated as a guaranteed quantity for every complete lighting installation.
Does dielectric grease carry electrical current?
This product is non-conductive. The electrical connection still depends on the properly assembled metal contacts; grease does not replace a sound terminal connection.
Can I use it on every Deutsch or sealed connector?
No. Follow the instructions for the exact connector and contact system. Some manufacturers advise against dielectric grease in particular contact assemblies, so a sealed or Deutsch-style connector is not automatic approval to add it.
Will it fix a corroded or loose lighting connector?
Grease is not a repair for damaged terminals, inadequate contact pressure or a failed seal. Diagnose and correct the connection problem before using any approved assembly lubricant.
Should I coat every pin with a pea-sized amount?
Do not use a universal amount or placement rule. Follow the connector or lamp manufacturer's procedure for where grease is permitted and how much to apply.
Can I assume it is compatible with every plastic and rubber seal?
No. Check the materials and the connector manufacturer's grease specification. The silicone description alone does not establish compatibility with every seal, plastic or application.
