Zinc bolts and nuts for box terminals

[-X-RaTeD-]

According to the guy at Lowes, they do not make copper bolts... which I guess makes sense since pure copper is a really soft metal, wouldn't be able to torque em down too hard without stripping them.

So I picked up the zinc bolts and nuts. I was just curious what metal other people use for their box terminals, or if maybe there is a better choice that is more conductive.

I've always liked to use the brass machine screw bolts and nuts. Brass is a copper alloy with good conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Damn, they didn't have aluminum bolts at my Lowes. People use so many type's, I wonder how much of a difference it makes, if any. I figure voice coils are usually made out of copper or aluminum so wanted one or the other. Guess I shouldn't have a problem with the zinc bolts though.
