Example of a bolt with a black coating that is a poor electrical conductorTo minimize damage from rust and corrosion, many fasteners have black coatings that resist electrical conductivity in addition to resisting corrosion. Do not use such fasteners for electrical terminals or electrical grounding.Fasteners that provide good electrical conductivity have silver-colored zinc plating.Direct contact between terminals or a terminal-to-ground boss is recommended. Refer to Illustration 2
