It also helps to keep air/water from migrating into the housing/boot. In most circuits, the electricity would blow thru it but it's mot made for contacts. Most of the low amp (less than 0.5 amp have gold contacts to eliminate any corrosion. I used to sell contact lube, it's made for the contacts and is electrically conductive. But, it's used more on tin (above 1 amp) than gold. Doesn't matter much with your current problem though. |
