Consistent electrical earthing
A newly developed self-piercing nut from Profil provides high strength location and consistent electrical earthing of components in sheet metal assemblies. Suitable for panels up to 2.00mm thick - and offering substantial piece part cost and installation speed advantages over competitive products such as riveted studs, threaded pegs, captive nuts or welded anchors - Profil's new RSR nut is an ideal choice for vehicle assembly, electrical equipment and domestic appliance applications.
It is equally effective with steel, aluminium, plated, or sandwich steel panels and incorporates a skirted profile that ensures watertight sealing and maximum metal-to-metal contact, for assured electrical performance. Electrical conductivity is further enhanced by the RSR nut's large, flat area of contact and the attachment of terminations using self-tapping bolts or screws.
