Abstract: A push-on fastener including: a conductive, annular push-on fastener body including a major surface and a radial edge defining a peripheral surface, the push-on fastener body forming an aperture defining a central axis; and a non-conductive sliding layer overlying the major surface of the push-on fastener body, where the major surface includes a void area free of non-conductive sliding layer adapted to contact an inner component or an outer component so as to provide electrical conductivity between the push-on fastener and a neighboring component.

Abstract: A bearing including a generally cylindrical sidewall including an electrically conductive substrate, and an electrically non-conductive or low-conductive sliding layer coupled to the substrate, where the generally cylindrical sidewall includes a plurality of protrusions protruding radially inward or radially outward from a bore defining a central axis, where at least one protrusion is adapted to contact an opposing component such that at a point of contact the bearing has a void area free of sliding layer so as to provide electrical conductivity between the bearing and the opposing component, and wherein at least one protrusion has a spring rate of not greater than 30 kN/mm, such as not greater than 25 kN/mm, such as not greater than 15 kN/mm, or such as not greater than 10 kN/mm.
