Use rivets for permanent, vibration-resistant joints where you do not need to disassemble the unit. Screws are better for components that require maintenance or field service.
Rivets Component Intelligence
Permanent mechanical fastening for chassis, PCB, and enclosure assembly.
What are Rivets components?
Rivets provide permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joints where access is limited to one side. In electronics, they are critical for securing PCBs to chassis, mounting heat sinks, and assembling enclosures where threaded fasteners might loosen over time.
How to Choose Rivets Components
Select rivets based on the material stack-up, required shear strength, and the accessibility of the installation side.
Grip Range
Ensure the rivet's grip range matches the total thickness of the materials being joined to prevent loose joints or deformation.
Material Compatibility
Match rivet material to the substrate to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in outdoor or humid environments.
Installation Access
Use blind rivets when you only have access to one side of the assembly; use solid or tubular for high-stress structural joints.
Head Profile
Choose between dome, countersunk, or large-flange heads based on surface finish requirements and clearance constraints.
Environmental Rating
Consider sealed or closed-end rivets if the application requires protection against moisture or dust ingress.
