What Is a Dielectric Grease?
A dielectric grease is a grease with non-conductive properties.
Its main components include silicone oil and solid components. The silicone oil component possesses non-conductive properties. There are two main types of dielectric grease: low-temperature flowable grease and non-flowable grease, each used for different applications.
Low-temperature flowable grease is fluid at room temperature and is used for lubricating contacts and preventing the intrusion of dirt and moisture. On the other hand, non-flowable grease remains solid at room temperature and is suitable for insulating contacts and preventing discharge. The primary applications of dielectric grease include connection points such as switches and connectors, electrical devices like motors and capacitors, and electrical components in electric vehicles and hybrid cars. This enhances the safety and reliability of electrical equipment.
