Greasing Connectors

Best practices for assembling your system

Greasing the Connector/Dummy Plug (ABOVE WATER - DRY MATE ONLY)

Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium (or equivalent) before every mating. Check the MSDS for your type of o-ring lubricant before use.

A layer of grease corresponding to a minimum 1/10 of socket depth should be applied to the female connector

The inner edge of all sockets should be completely covered, and a thin transparent layer of grease left visible on the face of the connector

After greasing, fully mate the male and female connectors to secure optimal distribution of grease on pins and in sockets

To confirm that grease has been sufficiently applied, de-mate and check for grease on every male pin then re-mate the connector
