Abstract

An integrated locking and sealing fastener with electrical conductivity is revealed. The integrated locking and sealing fastener with electrical conductivity includes a fastener with a surface and a conductive anti-loosening coating. A part of the surface of the fastener is a fastening contact surface and the conductive anti-loosening coating is formed on the fastening contact surface. The conductive anti-loosening coating consists of an anti-loosening portion and a conductive portion mixed with each other. The anti-loosening portion is made from polyamide (PA) resin, acrylic (PMMA) resin, polyethylene, epoxy resin, silicone, rubber, or the combinations. The conductive portion is made from materials including carbon black, metal powders, a silver wire, graphite, or the combinations. The coating on the fastener not only prevents loosening and leakage but also provides electrical conductivity.

Claims (11)

1. An integrated locking and sealing fastener with electrical conductivity comprising:

a fastener having a surface provided with a fastening contact surface formed by a part of the surface; and

a conductive anti-loosening coating that is arranged at the fastening contact surface and including:

an anti-loosening portion made from polyamide (PA) resin, acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) resin, polyethylene, epoxy resin, silicone, rubber, and combinations thereof; and

a conductive portion that is mixed in the anti-loosening portion and made from carbon black, metal powders, a silver wire, graphite and combinations thereof;

wherein the fastener provides not only anti-loosening effect but also electrical conductivity.

2. The fastener as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastener is an antenna fastener and the part of the surface is a part of a screw thread surface on the antenna fastener.

3. The fastener as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastener is a ground antenna and the part of the surface is a part of a screw thread surface on the ground screw.

4. The fastener as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anti-loosening portion is further fixed with a sealing portion made from fluorine resin, polyurethane and the combination so that the fastener further provides a sealing effect.

5. The fastener as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fastener is an antenna fastener and the part of the surface is a part of a screw thread surface on the antenna fastener.

6. The fastener as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fastener is a ground antenna and the part of the surface is a part of a screw thread surface on the ground screw.
