The Role of Electrically Conductive Grease in Various Applications

2024-10-25

1. Contact Point Protection: Electrically conductive grease shields the contact surfaces and surrounding areas from oxygen, sulfur, moisture, and other corrosive agents, preventing rust and deterioration.


2. Arc Suppression: It helps reduce the occurrence of electrical arcs, minimizing arcing-related wear and tear. This prevents oxidation, carbonization, and blackening of the contact surfaces, helping to avoid contact failure.

3. Extended Contact Life: By enhancing lubrication between contact elements, electrical conducting grease prevents mechanical wear, which is particularly important for gold-plated contacts. Less wear allows for thinner plating, significantly reducing costs while prolonging the lifespan of the contacts.

Surface Coating for Protection:

1. When electrically conductive grease applied to contact surfaces, the fine particles of zinc, nickel, and chromium in the grease fill gaps, effectively increasing the conductive area. Under pressure or fastening force, these particles break through the metal's oxide layer, reducing contact resistance and lowering the temperature rise at the connection, thus extending its lifespan.
2. Enhanced Conductivity and Thermal Performance: Under magnification, it becomes clear that high conductivity grease fills all gaps between contact surfaces, forming a network of conductive channels. This greatly increases the actual contact area, improving both electrical conductivity and thermal performance in lap joints.
