[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1412123, member: 26138"] It is an insulator. On a properly fitted connector, the interference of the pins or tabs scrape away the grease and the connection is made. It's purpose is to repel water and contaminants. A lot of guys like to smear that stuff on any connection they take apart, but I find it's usefulness to be pretty limited. 99% of automotive connectors are sealed and best assembled clean and dry. It's a bad idea on trailer plugs because of the dirt and grime it collects. It is a good idea on high voltage ignition parts, the grease discourages arcing and lubricates the boot and terminal for easy removal. You would not want to use anything even remotely conductive for this purpose. [/QUOTE]
