Do you happen to have the manufacturer's name handy for the lubricant you have in mind?

I ask because when Joel Sciamma mentioned silicone grease earlier:

...he gave enough information to allow the OP to contact the manufacturer directly if they had any questions concerning the use of the substance.

If the OP had the same sort of information available for Teflon lock lubricant, they could dash off a query to the manufacturer and verify firsthand that it works well when employed near electronics as well as for strictly mechanical applications.

(I'm not clear on whether Teflon in powdered form might contain additional ingredients that are a no-no for electronics.  Perhaps someone else can speak to that?)
