Non Metallic Fasteners

Non Metallic Fasteners – Lightweight and Non Conductive

Fasteners made from non metallic materials are becoming popular due to their lightweight and non conductive properties.

They are also corrosion resistant and non-magnetic.

They find application in Electronics (especially PCB assemblies), Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, Chemical, Robotics, Marine, Drones and Medical Equipment industries.

Advantages of Non Metallic Materials

  • Lightweight
  • Non Magnetic
  • Non Conductive
  • Corrosion resistant

Available options

Nylon Fasteners

Nylon is a lightweight and non-magnetic material that provides electrical and thermal insulation.

Nylon Spacers and Nylon Standoffs

Nylon is commonly used to make spacers and standoffs as it is a good insulator and has a surface smoothness which will not fray the insulation of wires that rub against it.

Insulating standoffs keep two parts from touching each other, thereby preventing electrical shorts.

There are two types of Nylons spacers – With metal inserts and Without metal inserts.

Nylon Spacers may have metal inserts to provide stronger threads. These will however need to be separated by a non conductive material to ensure insulation
