Abstract

A precoated metal sheet excellent in conductivity and corrosion resistance and able to be inexpensively produced is provided. The present invention is a conductive, corrosion resistant precoated metal sheet comprising a metal sheet on at least one surface of which is formed a coating film (α) which contains an organic resin (A) and non-oxide ceramic particles (B) with a 25° C. electrical resistivity of 0.1×10 −6 to 185×10 −6 Ωcm selected from borides, carbides, nitrides, and silicides, a volume ratio of the organic resin (A) and the non-oxide ceramic particles (B) in the coating film (a) at 25° C. being 90:10 to 99.9:0.1, the organic resin (A) including a derivative (A2) of a resin (A1) which includes at least one type of functional group selected from a carboxyl group and sulfonic acid group in a structure of the resin (A1).
