SNAPLOC^®

SNAPLOC^® studs
with external thread

The metal external threads of the ball studs are metric or self‑tapping (in plastic). Other thread types are possible on request.

SNAPLOC^® studs
with internal thread

The metal internal threads of the ball studs are usually metric. Other thread types are possible on request.

SNAPLOC^® studs
with K' in K' thread

With its special developed thread profiles, SNAPLOC^® with K’ in K’ function enables a solution for self‑tapping screw connections.

Principle

The patented thread geometry of the K' in K' principle is vitally important. The K’ in K’ thread forms or cuts into a cylindrical drill‑hole a holding thread. Due to the special thread form of the K’ in K’ thread, the screw is locked against loosening. In combination with the receiving component, a self‑locking device is realised.

The K' in K' principle can be identified by the torque

To unscrew the thread, a higher torque is necessary than during installation.

SNAPLOC^® studs in clip form

Based on the special geometry of the parts, these ball studs may be fastened by simply being clipped into an opening.

Material

• 100 % plastic

Applications

• A fastening solution which is highly suitable for applications in which a thread or stud cannot be inserted into the part.

SNAPLOC^® studs
for injection moulding

For cost‑effective production, especially in the case of low‑strength materials, we offer ball studs suitable for insertion into injection moulding tools and for the process of in‑moulding.

SNAPLOC^® couplings
for mounting domes

The couplings for mounting domes are designed so that they can be inserted automatically or manually into the corresponding locating holes, without the need for additional tools.

Couplings with collar

Couplings with a collar are designed primarily for fastening in mounting domes but can also be fastened in plates. Due to the geometry of the part, an open bore is preferable.

Advantages

• Can be inserted automatically or manually into the corresponding locating holes
• No additional tools required
• Very short assembly time
