Implications of static electricity when connecting two panels with a quarter turn.

Static electricity is an issue when you have two panels that you connect to each other, while they have a gap.
The Quarter turns are then the only connection point between both of the panels.

If the panels are made of plastic, then you can build up a big static electricity voltage.
When this cannot float easily from one to the other panel, a spart might occur.

Important: if the two plates that you will connect are not in contact with each other, and only through the fastener then off course you might have more chances of corrosion.

I have however seen this  only on the outside of trains where there is lot’s of wind passing causing static electricity that makes the parts corrode.  The Turnlocks were even made in stainless steel.

recomendation:

If it is mounted on a plastic cover, please connect the panel to the earth
