Just a bit more information on dielectric grease. It is not a conductor, it is an insulator. That's why you don't want to overdo it. You're still relying on the mechanical mating of the connector to create the conductive path. Dielectric grease is used because it will keep out water and oxygen but not short neighboring pins together in the connector.
