Protecting electronics connections

[trueblue]

is there a preferred product for spraying onto the connection leads / pins for the electronics to protect from corrosion?

cheers

I have used a silicon spray for ages with no bad side effects.

Lanox is the go or Inox if there's no Lanox in the toolbox
Don't use WD40 or those types of things

I agree with Finga. You could also look for one of the electrical jointing compounds (paste type) that are available. BCF stock one put i just can't remember the name of it. I use Almanox here.

Alminox contains zinc and is conductive. That's one reason we used it on aluminium overhead power lines.
Some tracking between terminals may occur.
And it's dark icky stuff that sticks like poop to a blanket to everything it touches.
Good for under the truck door handles on people who've upset you though

Im using MarineGuard on my leectrical connections. Has Lanolin. So far no problems and no corrosion.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the old petroleum jelly.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the old petroleum jelly.

Yep, good stuff and cheap as chips
Just look at all the battery terminals with the god old Vas on them.
Sometimes we go all high tech that cost a motza when all we need is a 50 cent jar of Vas in the boat.

Think its made by Septone. In a spray can from SuperCheap Auto. Lanolin based.
Does the same kinda thing as Inox etc, but with Lanolin.
