NO .. not the plumbing flux! It is highly corrosive .. do not use on elecetrical connections .. Yes it will clean thse connectors .. and than keep going to eat them all away in 5 to 7 years time .. If you have used this stuff.. clean the flux all away .. then clean the flux away again!
------
To seal the joints - dielectic grease is the stuff designed for the job. The job is simply to stop air getting at the joint .. no air =no oxegen = no corrosion. Petroleum jelly will do the job in non critical aplications .. and so will grease (wheel bearing etc) for battery terminals.
