Intended for high vibration application points on thermoplastic parts such as bumpers and clips.
Some straight cracks might be located in high vibration areas like plastic supports under the hood.
To counteract the vibrations, these clips are used because the footprint is larger than the Z-Clip.
The extra width covers more surface area and adds rigidity.
The larger footprint allows it to be used horizontally and vertically.
This small design element will cut cycle time and save technicians extra steps.
The leads are notched like someone took an axe to a tree, allowing them to be snapped off with a hand, instead of having to go back with snips.
The time savings does not stop there: if sunken deep enough the leads will break below the surface of the plastic eliminating the need to go back over with a grinder later.
Over time these simple improvements make the difference in profitability and not going over the allocated time.
