Description
The SpecialInsert M1 10-32 bonding fastener creates a threaded mounting point on a surface without drilling, welding, or riveting. This 10-32 thread version has a 3/4 inch collar length and a 38 mm by 15 mm rectangular baseplate in zinc plated steel, sized for adhesive bonding applications where a clean, hidden fastening point is needed on the back side of a panel, fixture, or enclosure.
Where This Bonding Fastener Replaces Mechanical Fasteners
Bonding fasteners are commonly embedded during molding or bonded after the fact to nearly any substrate, including metal, plastic, and composite panels. Because the fastener attaches with adhesive rather than a drilled hole, it avoids weakening thin panels, eliminates a weld that could distort a finished part, and removes the safety hazard that comes with hot work in enclosed or flammable environments. The rectangular baseplate spreads load across a wider bonding area than a small round stud, which helps the joint carry more shear and pull-out force for its footprint.
Typical uses include mounting brackets, hardware, and hinges to sign panels, vehicle bodies, enclosures, and fabricated assemblies where access to the back side for a nut or weld is limited or impossible. Bonding fasteners also reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion that can develop between dissimilar metals at a mechanical fastener joint.
Installation Steps
Clean and prepare the bonding surface per the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions, apply a compatible structural adhesive to the baseplate, and hold the fastener in position with even pressure until the adhesive reaches handling strength. Confirm the adhesive chemistry is rated for the substrate and expected load before committing to a production run, and always test the assembly under realistic load conditions before it goes into service.
