Not really. A dielectric means it will conduct electricity.

Dielectric means it insulates not conducts.


ooopppss!

You are right, of course. I had it backwards. The dielectrics are
available as a grease though, not a curable silicone to the best of my
knowledge, although I didn't look for it.

There are noncorrosive silicones designed to seal electrical connections.

I have always soldered then heat shrink wrapped my electrical connections on
the boat. What advantage does the noncorrosive silicone add to the mix?
Does it replace the heat shrink wrap and do a better job?
