Well, I knew that is what dielectric meant to begin with, so wanted
clarification as to how it could help, in this situation.

Reread Mys Terry's post:

di·e·lec·tric (d-lktrk) KEY

NOUN:

A nonconductor of electricity, especially a substance with electrical
conductivity of less than a millionth (10-6) of a siemens.
Dielectric grease in electronics is used to create a good thermal path and
a
very not good electrical path.

This logic is what has prompted my question. Perhaps if the bolts are
drawn
up tight, there will be good electrical contact, and the grease prevents
corrosion that could insulate the connection ??

Dielectric means "non-conductive" If you put dielectric grease on a
zinc,
it
won't protect anything. Zincs MUST have direct metal to metal contact
to
be
effective.
