Product overviewOverview

Seal compression has an optimum: too little contact stress and the joint weeps, too much and the sealant extrudes or takes a permanent set. Sealed nuts are therefore less forgiving about hole-edge quality than standard parts — a burr can pierce the seal and become the leak path.

Material: 6061 Aluminum / 304 Stainless. It is set from one side with a rivet-nut tool.

Key featuresFeatures

The seal is built to whichever of IP67 or IP68 the battery enclosure test calls for, rather than to one fixed level.
Body material follows the pack environment: aluminium where weight dominates, stainless where road salt is present.
6H internal thread keeps the joint serviceable.
A seal element compressed under the flange blocks water from travelling between the flange and the sheet.

Typical applicationsApplications

Outdoor telecom cabinets
Chargers and energy storage cabinets
Vehicle wading structures

Selection notesSelection

Run the leak test within 24 hours of setting; readings before full cure are optimistic.

Manufacturing and inspection

Seal compression is checked on cross-sections against the design window.Alternative materials and finishes can be quoted side by side during sampling, so cost and corrosion resistance can be traded off explicitly.
