ELECTRICAL

COMPONENTS
Lubricants formulated to protect and extend the operating
life of electrical connector, sensor and switch components.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Connectors
Connector lubricants are used to prevent wear and
EXTENDING OPERATING LIFE WITH SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS environmental corrosion. They are also very effective at
preventing fretting corrosion, the result of micro-motions
between contacts caused by vibration and thermal changes
within the connector housing. By reducing the formation
of metal oxide at the mated interface, connector greases
extend contact life and keep resistance low.

High insertion force has become a major assembly


Switches challenge. Mating multi-pin connectors, sometimes in
Door & window switches - Instrument Grease 732C hard to reach locations, often requires significant force –
creating the potential for incomplete mating, as well as

repetitive-motion injuries for assembly workers. Synthetic
Audio switches & radio knobs - NyoGel® 774F based lubricants reduce high insertion forces without

Ignition switch - Rheolube® 362 The accuracy and operating life of automotive sensors
is directly related to the quality of the lubricant used
Nye offers, low-shear sensor greases for very low
power applications; lubricants with exceptional film
strength to accommodate heat generated by resistance;
thermally conductive lubricants that boost the accuracy
of temperature sensors; and unique underhood sensor
lubricants that withstand years of vibration, thermal
cycling, temperature extremes, as well as salt spray,
sand, road grit, and underhood fluids.

When electromechanical sensors or potentiometers break


contact, signal is lost. To ensure continuous contact,
choose a low-viscosity fluorinated lubricant. A more
viscous lubricant may cause the contact to hydroplane,
instead of remaining in contact with the resistor.
