Fastener, e.g., stud (16), installation in a composite panel (12), such as a graphite epoxy structure, having a longitudinal conductivity substantially greater than the transverse conductivity is achieved in a manner providing increased conductivity between fastener assembly and the panel to which it is attached. Through panel countersink and fastener configuration, e.g., by use of grounding inserts (20 & 22), increased electrical contact is made to conductive fibers in the composite material which run at right angles to the central axis of the fastener. |
