If used on a clean connection it stops tracking and corrosion allowing the metal parts to stay in contact.
Vaseline is ok for some apps, but does not stand heat and probably does not have the dielectic strength of the grease.
Autozone sells an aerosol can that is a much better buy than the small packets
