The purpose of dielectric grease is for this specific use. Keeps contacts from corroding and it doesn't insulate the fuse from the clip. It surrounds the contact point to prevent the corrosion. The spray that you are using is a very temporary solution as the "protection" it gives will eventually evaporate leaving little or no protection. The dielectric grease is like a thick version of that spray protection. Elwood EET for 33 years....

But, be aware that dielectric grease is a non conductor of electricity by definition. It is counter productive if it gets between fuse clip and fuse. I speculate that it might contribute to fuse clip heating as it could diminish conductive contact area. -------------------------------1062006133 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD> <META charset=3DUTF-8 http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charse= t=3Dutf-8"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1106" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffff= f"> <DIV> <DIV>The purpose of dielectric grease is for this specific use.
