NyoGel 760G is a silica thickened, medium viscosity, synthetic hydrocarbon grease intended for lubrication and protection of electrical connectors. It seals electrical contacts from oxygen, moisture, aggressive gasses and other hostile elements. In applications where the connector is exposed to the elements, filling the connector housing with grease before mating is also recommended. The grease acts as a back-up environmental seal. A thin film of lubricant also reduces mating/insertion force by as much as 80 percent, ensuring solid connections and efficient assembly. Metal contacts are subject to “fretting corrosion” — abrasion resulting from low amplitude vibration caused by motion or thermal expansion and contraction. Abraded metal can build up and break the connection. NyoGel 760G minimizes metal-to-metal wear, protecting the contact from fretting corrosion.
