Kurt,

Sorry to disagree with you, but Dielectric grease is non-conductive.  
Straight from the Wurth Web site:

"We use W|rth Dielectric Grease on all electrical connections to keep 
them from corroding--a common problem with Fiats & Alfas. 
Non-conductive, non-flammable; designed to withstand high temps. From 
Germany."

Theirs is no different from that used by anyone else, all say it is 
non-electric.  Just a little Google search brought up lots of examples..

You find it in burial cable. If you can find it outside of being rapped up in  25 pair burial cable, it would be good for repelling moisture. Maybe check with Greybar Electric. If they don't know what "Iky Pik" is, you may want to try asking for cable filling grease. It is petroleum based and I had to use a product called HydraSol to clean my hands and tools after working burial cable.
