Dielectric grease and tubes


Is there any benefit of using dielectric grease on the pins of tubes?

Its non conductive so if it doesn't completely wipe off the pins as they enter the tube socket you might lose the tube. Its also only soluble in methyl ethyl keytone and mineral spirits. I do use it on the pins of my trailer socket of my truck with success. I should probably only use it on the rubber gasket but you have to be careful because it can break down silicon rubber.
