Overview: This document provides comprehensive details on fasteners designed for thermoplastics, particularly in mobile devices. It covers specifications, installation procedures, and performance data for fasteners such as SONIC-LOK®, MINI-TECH®, and TMP screws.
SONIC-LOK®: These fasteners are designed for quick installation into thermoplastics using heat or ultrasonics. They feature opposed helical knurl bands for high torque and pull-out resistance, making them suitable for compact boss designs and high-performance applications.
MINI-TECH®: This is a miniature symmetrical insert ideal for small plastic products like mobile phones. It supports the use of small screws and ensures reusability without thread stripping. Installation is rapid using heat, and it supports thin boss walls.
TMP Screws: These direct screw fasteners for thermoplastics feature a profiled thread root and specific angles to reduce installation torque and increase stripping torque, offering an economical solution for applications not requiring high thread re-use.
Installation Guidelines: For SONIC-LOK® and MINI-TECH®, moulded holes with specific taper and diameter are recommended. Installation uses pre-heating or ultrasonic methods, avoiding excessive pressure to prevent damage. TMP screws require careful boss design consideration to maximize performance.
Performance Data: The document includes tables with typical performance values for pull-out and body torque across materials like PC/ABS and PC GF15%. It stresses the importance of pre-production testing to meet specific performance requirements.
Design Recommendations: Advice is provided on hole preparation, boss wall thickness, and installation techniques to optimize fastener performance. The document highlights advantages such as high resistance to vibration and material relaxation.
Special Variants: MINI-TECH® offers special variants like Taper-Lok for enhanced engagement and customer-defined knurl profiles for specific applications.

In order to establish the optimum clamplng torque it ts first necessary to establish the following: he speed at which screws are installed should be carefully considered - speeds which are too high can destroy the material into which the screws are being driven. Although a speed of 600rpm is recommended for most materials, pre-production testing and...
