Japan Iwata Bolt Rolled out Electrically Conductive Earth Nuts & Earth Bolts

The company rolled out its new products, "seat earth bolts", "earth nuts", and "ITM" (Iwata tapping screw for Magnesium).  "Seat earth bolts" are used around the electric device in a car that uses insulated paints. Upon fastening, the bolt will make the paints fall off and ensure electric conductivity and water-proof effect. It will not cause dispersed paint chips, therefore illiminating working hours and the usage of masks.

"Earth nuts" is an improved alteration of the original "UPS-P" (Uniform Pressure Screw) type nuts. When fastening with the earth nut, the threaded part and flange part of the nut will form a v-shaped notch which makes the insulated coating on the male screw fall off, therefore achieving the electric conductivity between the nut's threaded part and the male screw.

"ITM" is comprised of specially designed threads (in 45° symmetry) and pitch, as well as a female screw forming part. When driving "ITM" into Magnesium materials, the shape of its thread can maintain low drilling torque.
