Abstract
To provide a lightning-resistant fastener capable of assuring a sufficient lightning-resistant performance. A cap 30A has an elastically deformable part 50 continuous in the circumferential direction thereof. The elastically deformable part 50 has a smaller thickness than the other parts of the cap 30A in a circumferentially continuous area thereof. Since the cap 30A has the elastically deformable part 50, even if a surface 22b of a member 22 is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of a fastener main body 25, the cap 30A can be installed without forming a gap.
