Solved Is Thermal Grease Paste Also Electrically Conductive Mac

Chosen Solution

Is thermal grease/paste also electrically conductive? I’ve seen phone line repairmen squeeze a dollop of this clear grease into a phone jack before they plug a RJ11 in and they tell me that it’s an electrically-conductive grease that prevents moisture from interfering with the connection but conducts electricity fine.

Hi, It depends on what is in the grease compound. Here is a link to one example where it is both electrically and thermally conductive. http://www.timtronics.com/electricallyco…, Whereas this one is non electrically conductive but has high thermal conductivity. https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Carbon-Bas…
