If using silicone on or near ANYTHING electrical or near any contacts make sure the silicone is "non-corrosive' type or you might get a nasty shock in only a few days as ordinary silicone will gobble up almost all metals (except stainless steel). See here for a des-cr-ip-tion of it - Bunnings sell it as well, you have to read the labels carefully on the tubes:

"The material does not evolve any corrosive volatiles, e.g. acetic acid, amines, during cure and is therefore suitable for use on copper, its alloys and other sensitive metals. This property also results in a very low odour emission compared to acetoxy grades. The thixotropic paste has excellent adhesion to most materials (except PTFE and polyethylene) and can withstand temperatures of -55°C to +180°C whilst still maintaining chemical resistance. Typical uses are protection of semiconductor junctions, finishing protection of assemblies and delicate devices, sealing to copper clad items.
