The Avtronic® fastening system is designed to provide a superior attachment of through hole or surface mount connectors to printed circuit boards without the risk of cracking brittle connector material. Annular grooves on the Avtronic® rivet shell allow for the stress relief of mating material, thus eliminating the cracking of brittle connector bodies.
The Avtronic® fastener is available in two diameters, which meet standard hole sizes specified in DIN and other commonly used connectors. Additionally, nine lengths are available to accommodate any combination of PC board thickness and connector configuration. The Avtronic® fastening system is made from aluminum to repel solder or brass with a hot tin dipped coating to accept solder. Due to the precise design of the Avtronic® fastening system the application parameters must meet the specified ranges to ensure proper installation and performance.
Speed fasteners are placed using a unique repetition mandrel system. Rivets are loaded into specialist tooling and, during placement, the tool pulls the mandrel through the rivet giving both axial and radial expansion (providing clamp and hole fill). At the end of each cycle the next rivet is automatically delivered to the nose piece ready for placement. For large volume applications the fasteners can be bowl fed using automated equipment which gives continuous feed with cycle times as low as 1.5 seconds.
- Annular grooves on the body expand radially during installation
- Provide a vibration resistant joint, increased pull-out resistance and good residual clamp
- Various body lengths provide a wide grip range to accommodate most combinations of connector and PC board thickness
- Ideal tack rivet
- Can be used in blind hole applications
