Di-Electric Grease ?
 

Hey all
I used di-electric grease on a motor's connections to help reduce heating when shooting single, and it worked so well I was considering using some on the trigger.
Does anybody use it on their airsoft here? is it safe on a trigger? does it reduce arcing like the packaging says?
does it do a mosfet's job somehow?
thank you.

I've been using it as an air seal lubricant for my L96. Wasn't sure how to use it for the electronics of my AEGs though. I want to know if using it on the trigger would help trigger response, so keep me updated

well, I used it to get rid of heating from a 11.1 lipo that does make trigger response better.
it is a bit anti-intuitive to use grease on connectors :/

I've put some on the contacts before... doesn't do a whole lot that I can tell. It's really thick stuff so I'm not sure if it works well as a lubricant.

There's so much arcing at the trigger that the grease won't stop it. That's a pretty good amount of power jumping through there. any grease I put on ended up blackening up really quick as it arced right through it. Not for our application I would think. A mosfet is a better choice.

Actually, I just fixed someone's G36 where the di-electric grease had actually burned on the trigger contacts, REDUCING conductivity.
Had the same symptom of a gun with a burned trigger.
I just wiped the burned grease off with a Qtip and everything worked fine.

mm that's good to know, thanks a lot.

Lonex makes a grease for the trigger.

Not really necessary IMO if you have a mosfet. But to each their own.

Not to mention you can get mosfets for as cheap as 10$. However, motor contacts may benefit substantially from applying a conductive thermal compound like arctic silver. My motor contacts aren't soldered because I am often taking my gun apart. I could see arctic silver as an effective alternative for reducing resistance. less resistance = faster trig response, higher rpm.
