Product catalog summary

Introduction to DZUS Panex® D3 Quarter-Turn Fasteners
The DZUS Panex® D3 Quarter-Turn Fasteners are designed for quick access applications in industries such as off-highway vehicles, motorcycle fairings, and air conditioning units. These fasteners are valued for their precision and aesthetic appeal, available in various surface finishes and stainless steel options.

Panex Assembly
The system includes a spiral-cam stud, a stud retainer, and a receptacle. Receptacles snap or clip onto support panels, providing robust quarter-turn fastening with a positive stop and vibration-resistant detent feature.

Receptacle Styles and Specifications
Receptacles come in styles like Clip-On, Right Angle Bracket, Front Load Clip-In, Rivet Plate, Weld Plate, Press-In Insert, and Self-Clinching Insert, with load capacities from 12 lbs to 65 lbs.

Selection Process
The selection involves four steps: choosing the receptacle style based on load and installation, selecting size using the Panex Performance Chart, choosing stud style based on head style and finish, and selecting additional options like stud retainers and head cups.

Material and Finish
Studs are made from case-hardened steel with finishes like zinc plate and chromate. Retainers are available in high-density polyethylene and spring steel.

Installation Guidelines
Guidelines include calculating Total Material Thickness (TMT) and determining stud length and part numbers based on TMT ranges. All dimensions are in millimeters.

Specifications
Materials include case-hardened steel, thermoplastic, spring steel, brass, and plated steel. Finishes include zinc plate with chromate, black chromate, or bright chrome. Mechanical properties specify maximum loads from 18 lbs to 54 lbs and maximum torque of 31 lbs.-in.

Procedures
Procedures involve calculating TMT, using the Stud Selection Table for TMT range, completing the Stud Part Number, and ensuring space for the cup and spring does not exceed limits for partial ejecting studs.

Receptacle Types
Types include Mini Clip-On, Right Angle Bracket, Front Load Clip-In, Rivet Plate, Weld Plate, Press-In Insert, and Self-Clinching Insert.

Key Notes
All dimensions are in millimeters, additional installation information is provided, and minimum order quantities apply for certain components.

Example
For a TMT of 24 mm, the Stud Part Number for a 6 mm slotted stud is D3-316-131-190.

Material and Finish Specifications
Zinc plating with chromate is used for finishes, with primary materials being case-hardened steel, high-density polyethylene, spring steel, and stainless steel for retaining springs.

Stud Length Determination
Stud length is determined by receptacle type and material thickness, with tables provided for selection.

Mechanical Specifications
Maximum load without distortion is specified, with a maximum torque of 36 lbs.-in. for all configurations.

Receptacle and Stud Selection
Details on receptacle sizes, support panel thicknesses, cutout dimensions, and maximum edge distances are provided. TMT is calculated to determine the appropriate stud length number.

Installation Guidelines
Installation involves specific tools and guidelines for support panel preparation, including minimum thickness and material hardness. Detailed instructions for various receptacle types are included.

Additional Notes
All dimensions are in millimeters, with further installation information available in the Southco 2003 Handbook.
