Dielectric Grease Application; Installation; Amp Mate-N-Lok; Amp Faston - JLG 600AJ Service And Maintenance Manual

SECTION 7 - BASIC ELECTRICAL INFORMATION & ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS
3. Anderson connectors for the battery boxes and battery
chargers should have silicone grease applied to the con-
tacts only.
NOTE: Curing-type sealants might also be used to prevent short-
ing and would be less messy, but would make future pin
removal more difficult.
When applied to electrical connections, dielectric grease helps
to prevent corrosion of electrical contacts and improper con-
ductivity between contacts from moisture intrusion. Open and
sealed connectors benefit from the application of dielectric
grease.
Dielectric grease shall be applied to all electrical connectors at
the time of connection (except those noted under Exclusions).

7.4 DIELECTRIC GREASE APPLICATION

Dielectric grease helps to prevent corrosion of electrical
contacts and improper conductivity between contacts
from moisture intrusion. Non-waterproof connectors
benefit from the application of dielectric grease.

Installation

The following is general guidance for the installation of
dielectric grease in a connector system.
• Use dielectric grease in a tube for larger connection
points or apply with a syringe for small connectors.
• Apply dielectric grease to plug/male connector hous-
ing which typically contains sockets contact/female
terminals.
• Leave a layer of dielectric grease on the mating face of
the connector, completely covering each connector
terminal hole. Refer the pictures shown below.
• Assemble the connector system immediately to pre-
vent moisture ingress or dust contamination.

The following connector systems are specifically
addressed because of their widespread use at JLG. How-
ever, this guidance may be applied to similar devices.

AMP Mate-N-Lok

This connector system is widely used inside enclosures
for general-purpose interconnect. Follow the general
guidance for installation.

AMP Faston

This connector system is typically used on operator
switches at JLG. Follow the general guidance for installa-
tion.
Improper

AMP Micro-Fit

This connector system is typically used on control mod-
ules at JLG. Follow the general guidance for installation.
