Brass Tubular Rivet
WANDA-AN
BTR-CB010-001
Hollow Rivets
Electrical Conduction Rivets are specialized fasteners used in electrical and electronic applications where both mechanical fastening and electrical conduction are required. These rivets are designed to connect electrical components or conduct electrical currents while holding parts together. Typically made from materials that exhibit good electrical conductivity, these rivets are crucial in applications like electrical panels, circuit boards, battery connections, or automotive electrical systems.
Dual Functionality: They serve as both fasteners and electrical conductors, saving space and reducing the number of parts needed.
Improved Reliability: Properly designed rivets ensure that the electrical connection remains stable even under mechanical stress or vibrations.
Reduced Power Loss: Rivets with low contact resistance help ensure efficient current transfer with minimal power loss.
Corrosion Resistance: Rivets can be made with corrosion-resistant materials or coatings (like silver or nickel) to ensure that the electrical connections remain intact in harsh environments.
Compactness: Combining mechanical fastening and electrical conduction in a single component leads to more compact designs and simplifies assembly.
Battery Terminals:Rivets are commonly used to connect wires or cables to battery terminals, ensuring a solid electrical connection.
Electrical Panels and Switch Gear:In electrical panels, switch gear, and circuit breakers, rivets are used to make electrical connections between various components like switches, terminals, and busbars.
Automotive Applications:In electric vehicles (EV) or traditional internal combustion vehicles, rivets are used to connect electrical circuits in components such as alternators, battery management systems, and motors.
Aerospace:Electrical conduction rivets are used in aerospace systems to ensure safe and reliable electrical connections in aircraft wiring, avionics, and other electrical systems.
Renewable Energy Systems:In solar power systems and wind turbines,rivets provide both mechanical and electrical connections, such as between solar panels or electrical circuits and inverters.
Industrial Electronics:In industrial machinery and control systems,electrical conduction rivets are often used to create reliable, long-lasting electrical connections in complex systems.
Rivet Fabrication Processing
The manufacturing process for electrical conduction rivets typically involves several steps to ensure both electrical conductivity and mechanical integrity:
A. Material Preparation
Metal Rods or Strips: Metal rods or strips of the chosen material (such as copper or aluminum) are prepared by cutting, rolling, or drawing to the required size and shape. The metal is often extruded to ensure consistent shape and conductivity.
B. Forming the Rivet
Cold Heading: A common method for shaping rivets is cold heading, where the metal is placed in a die and then compressed or "headed" to form the rivet's body and head.
The rivet's shaft and head are formed under high pressure to ensure uniformity in shape.
Drilling (If Applicable): In some cases, the rivet may have a hollow core, especially for tubular rivets or blind rivets, where a hole is drilled to allow wire routing or additional components to pass through.
C. Surface Treatment or Coating
Plating: To improve the electrical conductivity and prevent corrosion, rivets may undergo plating. For example:
Silver Plating: To enhance conductivity, rivets may be plated with silver.
Nickel Plating: Used to prevent oxidation, especially in harsh environments.
Tin Plating: Sometimes used to provide corrosion resistance, especially in environments where the rivet is exposed to moisture or salt.
Oxidation Resistance: Materials like copper are sometimes treated to reduce oxidation that can impair electrical conductivity over time.
D. Heat Treatment (If Required)
Some rivets undergo a heat treatment process to enhance mechanical properties like strength, ductility, and resistance to fatigue. However, heat treatment must be controlled carefully to avoid altering the electrical conductivity.
E. Inspection and Quality Control
Dimensional Checks: Rivets are inspected for consistency in size, shape, and finish. Dimensional tolerances are strictly adhered to, as improper dimensions could affect both the mechanical strength and the electrical conductivity.
Conductivity Testing: Electrical tests are performed to ensure the rivet meets the required conductivity standards. This is crucial for applications where efficient electrical flow is necessary.
Mechanical Testing: Rivets are tested for strength, hardness, and resistance to wear and tear, ensuring they meet the necessary mechanical performance criteria for the application.
Solid Rivets:These are traditional rivets made from a single solid piece of conductive material. They are typically used in low- to medium-load applications where conductivity is critical.
Blind Rivets:Also known as pop rivets, these are used when access is available from only one side of the assembly. Blind rivets with conductive materials are used in applications where a secure connection and electrical conduction are needed but access is limited.
Tubular Rivets:Tubular rivets have a hollow center and are often used in applications where a lightweight, conductive rivet is needed, or when the rivet needs to allow for certain wiring or components to pass through the center.
Insulated Rivets:These rivets are designed to provide electrical insulation while mechanically fastening components. Some are made with an insulating sleeve around the rivet shaft to prevent unintended electrical conduction in certain areas.
Self-Clinching Rivets:These are used when the rivet is being inserted into a softer material and clinches the surrounding surface for a secure connection.Some versions of self-clinching rivets come with conductive properties.
