SouthcoCaptive nuts N7
N7 captive nuts are designed to provide a practical and effective fastening solution. They allow panels to be replaced quickly while ensuring permanent retention. Thanks to the use of threaded studs, these nuts allow captive fastening even on panels fitted with screws, offering a practical and secure alternative.
Quick and easy installation
The key feature of N7 captive nuts is their easy installation. They are press-fitted into a neat round hole in the panel, ensuring permanent retention. Once the panels are in place on the protruding studs, the captive nuts can be quickly tightened using the large knurled knob. This ergonomic design offers speed and ease of use, allowing the user to control the torque applied with precision.
Easy to remove and align with other fixings
A unique feature of N7 captive nuts is their invisible ejector spring design. When the nut is completely disengaged from the threaded stud, the ejector spring allows the nut to spring back automatically. This makes removal and alignment with other fasteners much easier.
Versatile nuts thanks to many options
N7 captive nuts offer versatility thanks to the many options available. For example, you can opt for the through version, which allows the threaded stud to pass completely through the nut along its entire length. What’s more, this option is particularly forgiving when it comes to tightening and offers great flexibility in assembly.
For a finer finish, the blind version is also available. In this configuration, the length of the stud is enclosed in the body of the nut, offering a more aesthetic appearance.
A variety of uses
The applications for N7 captive nuts are vast and varied. Whether in electronic and industrial cabinets or telecommunications installations, these nuts offer a reliable and practical fastening solution.
In conclusion, N7 captive nuts offer a superior fixing solution. They provide faster panel replacement, permanent retention and ease of use. Their innovative design, combined with advanced features such as the knurled knob and ejector spring, and the availability of different versions, make them an essential choice for all fastening needs.
