The use in Washing Machines
Case study
Blind rivets as electrical connections: the case of washing machines
Would you ever say that a fastening system can also be an electric conductor?
This is the case for mass rivets, which are used by household appliance manufacturers to fix components while letting current flow.
Let us tell you how our rivets are used in washing machines.
“SARIV mass rivets are the ideal solution for us: in one product we found both a fastening system and an electrical connection”
A fastening system that conducts electricity
Can a blind rivet be more than just a simple fastening system?
This is the question we were asked by a well-known brand of washing machines, looking for something to fix the components of their products and at the same time an electrical connector.
Why not put both things together in one single product?
Mass blind rivet is the answer: this is a special rivet composed of a copper body, a copper-plated mandrel and a brass faston.
Thanks to its features, it is a valid current conductor, and therefore it is used in the assembly of household appliances and electrical panels, as it’s ideal for earthing.
In this way, we have allowed our Customer to use only one tool that at the same time satisfies two solutions.
It can be available in many different versions, depending on the number of cables to be connected and the type of materials to be fastened.
Our laboratory and production department can customize them according to the application required.
