A lot of people mistakenly think it helps or enhances electrical connections, but in reality it does the exact opposite. That's because it's 'dielectric' which means that it's an insulator. So while that dab of grease may stave off oxidation of the connection, it's really not helping it if the grease is actually covering the contacts. You may actually be increasing your electrical resistance in that case. Its real purpose is to be used as a sort of sealant or lubricant in situations where there are rubber insulators, to keep air and moisture out of an already made connection. Slathering on the terminals beforehand is bad. Use Caig Deoxit or a similar contact enhancer for that task, but don't use dielectric grease.
