Bonding (electrical)

The process of electrically connecting all isolated components to the aircraft structure. Bonding provides a path for return current from the components and provides a low-impedance path to ground to minimize radio interference from static electrical charges collected on the component. Shock-mounted instrument panels have bonding braids connected across the shock mounts, so that return current from the instruments can flow into the main structure and thus return to the alternator or battery.
