A nylon patch works by elastic interference. In a joint the available height is often one or two millimetres, so head thickness rather than head diameter controls the fit, and every 0.1 mm taken off the head buys swing angle. The thread provides axial retention only; the bore and shank locate the joint.
installed by electric driver; no more than five reuses.
Measure the clear height at the joint, allow 0.1–0.2 mm of swing clearance, then fix head thickness and shank length. If the gap is too small, change the head form rather than dropping to a smaller thread.

| Standard | ISO 2320 (prevailing torque fasteners) |
| Installation | electric driver; no more than five reuses |
| Typical substrate | battery packs, controllers, rail interiors |
| Key inspections | prevailing torque, patch length, thread gauging |
Prevailing torque is sampled to ISO 2320, recording first and fifth removal values.We recommend a pilot assembly at the actual torque and mating part before locking the process parameters for volume.
