Staking typically refers to the deformation of a terminal or eyelet to secure it to a PCB, whereas riveting is a broader term for joining two materials using a metal pin.
Staking Tools Component Intelligence
Precision mechanical assembly tools for terminal and hardware installation.
What are Staking Tools components?
Staking tools are precision manual or semi-automated instruments used to deform metal fasteners, such as eyelets or terminals, to create a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical connection to a PCB or chassis.
How to Choose Staking Tools Components
Selecting the correct staking tool requires matching the tool geometry to the specific fastener type and substrate thickness.
Fastener Compatibility
Ensure the tool tip profile matches the specific eyelet or terminal geometry to prevent material deformation.
Manual vs. Automated
Choose manual hand-held tools for prototyping and low-volume assembly, or press-mounted tools for high-volume production.
Material Hardness
Verify the tool material can withstand the force required to stake the specific fastener metal without premature wear.
Substrate Clearance
Check the tool reach and clearance to ensure it can access the mounting point without damaging surrounding components.
Force Requirements
Assess the required staking force to ensure the tool and the PCB substrate can handle the mechanical stress.
