 I've used copper bearing anti-seize with good results on old automotive ha=
rnesses.=C2=A0 If using it here apply a thin layer on the threads only and =
away from the insulator.=C2=A0 Wipe off the excess.
I always have a can of it here since it lasts forever.

 You can use dielectric grease, but it's an electrical insulator (hence 'di=
electric'). The theory is threads push it away allowing contact, but you're=
 kinda at cross-purposes. I've used it for years, but someone recommended t=
o me a better solution. Expensive, but this stuff works great, and is tenac=
ious as hell:

 I've been using it on battery terminals, and the old bullet-style connecto=
rs in my old cars to occlude air and prevent corrosion.
