Clip-On Nuts, also known as Speed Nuts or Spring Nuts, are fasteners designed for quick and secure attachment to panels, sheet metal, and other thin materials. They feature a flexible, spring-like design that allows them to clip onto an edge or pre-punched hole, eliminating the need for tapped holes or welding.
These nuts are commonly used in automotive, electronics, furniture, and appliance industries, providing strong, vibration-resistant fastening. They can accommodate standard machine screws, ensuring a secure hold even in dynamic environments. Clip-On Nuts are available in different materials, such as stainless steel and spring steel, often with coatings for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Their primary advantages include easy installation, self-retention, and reusability, making them ideal for applications where frequent disassembly and reassembly are required. They help simplify assembly processes, reduce labor time, and ensure a reliable fastening solution in areas where traditional nuts and bolts may not be practical.
