[Bill Fuqua]

    This grease is simply a very pure silicone grease.It has no 
contaminates or hydrocarbons in it as does the cheaper silicone greases do. 
What makes is good for high vacuum should be good for connectors.  It has 
nothing in it that will promote corrosion or react with the elements to 
cause problems.
   I use it in rotator bearings as well.
