DIRAK-SNAP-Technology - secure alternative approach to installation of panel hardware from FDB Panel Fittings

Stockcode:

DIRAK-SNAP-Technology (DST) offers panel connections, without the use of any tools and ensures proper installation, reducing the risk of assembly errors. A click confirms proper assembly and safe removal is assured with either standard or DIRAK specific tools.

The design concept is based on the same principle as a slam-latch. It is made up of two wedges with ramped edges, and a spring set into a window within the wedges. These components are then inserted into the hardware and secured with a plastic plug. As the DST component is pressed into the sheet metal cut out, the ramps on the wedges allow them to retract against the spring. When the ramps pass their apex, the spring pressure spreads them back outwards, resulting in the “SNAP” sound. The component is secured into the sheet metal, resulting in a secure, high-strength connection which naturally tightens.

The DST series includes captive fasteners for light weight sheet materials as well as for heavy gauge materials and heavy duty applications, e.g. enclosures and cabinets. There is a full range of components available.

DST products are rattle, vibration and shock resistant, with the ability to withstand heavy strains without compromising their high-strength locking. Many DST products are tested according to DIN EN 61373 for vibration and shock and GR-63-CORE, Issue 4 for earthquakes.

Various DST products were devised to accommodate sheet metal, plastic, or wood and to be flexible in application to accommodate individual application requirements with reinforcement plates available to increase strength and load capacity.

Where electrical continuity is required, safe and reliable electrical grounding is achieved with grounding clips. Where additional security is required then components requiring specialized DIRAK tools are available to address cases where vandalism or theft are concerns.
