Subject: Which type washer for best electrical connection? From: Finn Lassen (finn.lassen@verizon.net) Date: Sat Apr 20 - 4:06 PM I'm redoing the engine controller installation in my RV-4 to ensure better ground paths for noise reduction. Moving from (cheaper and lightweight plastic box) to cast alum box. 5 oz increase, ouch! I had been using star washers under screw heads and between PCB (ground) and spacers and to air frame. Now I'm wondering what is the best choice of washer. Perhaps ribbed/serrated is better -- won't damage PCB ground traces and better contact? I think this picture best shows the ones I have: https://www.jugenheimersupplies.com/ecomm_images/items/large/ribbedwasher.jpg The other question is whether I should put washers between bottom of box and the RV-4 side skin it's being mounted to. I know I being anal here but figure might as well do everything I can can to get good paths. Finn
