Hi Bill,

"Maybe careful application of Copper based anti seize such as Loctite C5-A
is a better solution for deterring connector failures from the elements and
dissimilar metals?"

I think that was meant for mechanical work (ie. anti-seize) not electrical

About contact corrosions, the primary issue here is sealing them away from the "elements"

Our car already using "sealed" connectors (well...except the battery posts) so the "element" part already taken care of

Dissimilar metal don't corrode by themselves unless the "element" part is there too

Coating the contacts with dielectric grease also works well to seal them away from the "elements"

If you also meant to use the copper paste as contact enhancer (copper conducts better than zinc) then don't. There are better contact enhancers available, one of them is Stabilant 22. Used by Boeing and NATO in their equipments.
