VIDEOClick to see full answer. Herein, can you use silicone to waterproof electrical connections?If you want to waterproof a length of outdoor (or even indoor) electrical cable, silicone sealant is the best protectant to use. where should you not use dielectric grease? Since dielectric grease is a silicone grease, it should not be used on silicone-based rubbers or plastics, as it will break them down over time. The grease does not conduct electricity, so it shouldn’t be applied directly to the mating surfaces (pins and sockets) of an electrical connection. Similarly, you may ask, can I use silicone to insulate wires? It’ll cure in a few minutes, and if strength, bonding, or air-tightness is not your concern, it’ll work perfectly for what you want: it will insulate the wires and prevent them from coming loose.Can you silicone electrical connections? Re: Silicone and other sealants on electrical connections Be a little careful with the silicone II as not all forms of it can be neutral. Most are but you have to check and be sure. This is a very good type to use for electrical connections.
