Ferrule, Retainers, Chassis Fasteners, and Ball Studs for Electronics Manufacturing are essential components in the design and assembly of electronic devices, ensuring structural strength, electrical connectivity, reliability, and ease of maintenance. They help provide secure connections, stable housing, and smooth operation.
Ferrule Fasteners
Ferrule Bolts are small cylindrical components typically made of metal or plastic, used to terminate wires and improve their connection in electronic circuits. In the context of connectors, ferrules are vital for protecting wire ends from fraying and ensuring reliable electrical contact, especially in high-vibration environments. They are widely used in PCB assemblies, where precision and durability are critical.
Product Offerings:
Ferrule bolts are available in Aluminum, Brass, Steel, and Stainless Steel.
Type 1: 1/4; 5/16; 3/8; 7/16; 1/2; 15/32; 9/16; 5/8; 3/4
Type 2: 1/4; 5/16; 3/8; 9/16; 3/4; 7/8
Retainer Fasteners
Retainers play a key role in securing electronic components or connectors within a device. Retainers provide a secure fit while protecting the parent material (sometimes a soft plastic). The hard machined bore allows for components to easily pass through without damaging the parent material, such as facilitating spring compressions or shaft movements.
Product Offerings:
Retainers are available in Brass, Steel, and Stainless Steel.

Chassis Fasteners
Chassis fasteners’ main purpose is to join various parts of an electronic device’s enclosure or housing. These can include screws, nuts, bolts, and rivets made from materials like stainless steel or aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance. Chassis Fasteners ensure that the electronic device’s internal components are shielded from environmental factors, such as dust or moisture, while also providing strength within the application.
Product Offerings:
Chassis Fasteners are available in Aluminum and Brass.
Ball Stud Fasteners
Ball Studs are small, spherical fasteners often used in hinge systems or as pivot points in electronic assemblies. They allow for controlled movement making them suitable for applications in adjustable displays, connectors, or access panels. Ball studs help make electronic devices easier to use and more effective by allowing a swivel movement while keeping parts securely connected.
Product Offerings:
Ball Studs are available in Brass, Steel, and Stainless Steel.
Male Thread Sizes: 6-32
Female Thread Sizes: 6-32
