41 00... EMC Screws

(EMC = Electro-Magnetic Compatibility)

Purpose: 

• EMC screws are used for repairs in the E60 (GRAV = reduced weight aluminium front end) .
• They assume the function of welded joints, which ensure transition to ground between the individual components.
• The EMC screws ensure the operational reliability and safety of the electrical/electronic components following repairs!
• Neither the punch rivets used as standard nor the blind rivets used in repairs ensure a transition to ground between the individual components!

Procedure: 

• Each welded joint which is opened must be replaced by at least 2 EMC screws.
• Position the 2 screws on the flange on which the weld seam has been separated. In the event of partial replacement, position the screws in the area of the component overlap.
• In the case of repairs using partial replacement, the number of EMC screws described in the repair instructions must be fitted.
• Drill holes to a diameter of 4.2 mm and insert screws.
• Seal EMC screws with PU sealing material (risk of corrosion).
