Sometimes this gets confused with yellow-chromate and is usually
anodized onto the metal. Its great for incoming inspection because they
can see it clearly, but not so great for conductivity. The bright zinc
seems to satisfy everybody, they can inspect it and we seem to be
getting good conductivity from it.

        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???
