Nolax will short the center to the braid. UHF connectors are not sealed… Thanks All for the feedback. I got a bottle of Noalox coming! My concern was keeping continuity in the shield. This weekend I broke down some coax that’s been up for awhile and it was seized to the point I had to cut the connectors. As they’re expensive I’d rather avoid having to do that again. Dielectric grease is a non-conductive, silicone-based grease used to protect electrical connections from moisture, corrosion, and dirt. It acts as a lubricant, sealant, and insulator, enhancing the reliability and longevity of electrical components. What you need is NOALOX , which will provide a good electrical connection for the coax shield, weather protection, and make removal easier when a change is required.

Something I can add to threads to prevent seizing and then wrap with weather tape once assembled. ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club ________________________________________________
