Old lead tech swore by thermal paste on avionics connectors, figured I'd try it out
After chasing intermittent faults on a Collins ARINC 429 bus for three days I finally caved and used the heat sink compound he recommended and the dropout went from every 2 minutes to zero in six hours of testing, has anyone else had luck with that trick or did I just get lucky?

Hold the tube up to the light and check if it says non-conductive on it, @rosel83. Some of that stuff is basically fancy grease, not a short circuit waiting to happen.
