I will second what Chris says.  The yellow zinc has a surface resistance
that must be penetrated in order to have conduction across joints.

        Don't have the figures to hand but having checked it out a while
ago we
        have moved from the gold/yellow zinc passivation on steel parts
to the
        silver/clear finish:

        UK spec: BRIGHT ZINC PLATE TO BS 1706 Fe/Zn 8 c 1A

        US spec: BRIGHT ZINC, ASTM B633, TYPE III, Fe/Zn 8

        This has a much lower resistance. We found the "gold"
unacceptable for
        emc considerations.

        Hi Guys,

        Does anyone know what a typical conductivity or resistivity is
for
        yellow zinc coating???
