A lightweight, compression limiting, pre-captured fastener assembly that minimizes hoop stress and eliminates debris formation during installation.
Protects substrates by limiting compression in the assembled joint.
Reduces insertion effort and eliminates plastic debris through ribbed design.
Allows for thin-walled plastic designs by localizing boss stress around external ribs.
Achieves ~50% weight reduction over other comparable metal solutions due to thin-walled design.
Installs and retains in substrate with optional pre-captured bolt/stud prior to final assembly.
