Abstract
To provide a lightning protection fastener or the like, that can reliably seal an arc between the cap and a member such as a wing panel. An end part 30A of a cap 30 on an opening side, the end part 30 A facing a member 22 (or member 21), includes a plane 30d orthogonal to an axis line of the cap 30A and a tapered face 30c formed on an outer circumferential side of the plane 30d. A sealant 34 that spills out of the cap 30A upon mounting the cap 30A is present between the tapered face 30c and a surface 22f of the member 22 (sealant 34S).
