Light Duty Drive Rivet Anchors for Block and Brick

A step up from a nail, the rivet head creates a secure connection with a finished look for mounting lightweight signs, screens, and panels. Easier to install than other types of anchors for block and brick, the anchors expand as you hammer in the pin or screw. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials.

To install, insert the anchor through your component and into a drilled hole. Then, hammer the pin or screw until it's flush with the anchor's head, which expands the anchor body.

Pin Drive Anchors

To remove, pry out the pin and then pull out the anchor.

Plastic Dowel Pins

Assemble circuit boards and other electronic parts with dowel pins that insulate against stray current. These pins prevent short circuits and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can harm performance and cause malfunctions. They’re also lighter than metal pins if you need to reduce weight in prototypes and moving assemblies. Dowel pins are machined to tight tolerances and have a uniform diameter for a snug fit. Since they can be hard to remove, they are best for fixtures that don't need to be adjusted or taken apart frequently.

Plastic

Wear-Resistant Acetal—Slippery and wear resistant, these pins make excellent pivots. They're often used for automated machinery and other moving parts that create a lot of friction. They also prevent short circuits better than PEEK and polycarbonate plastic.

Chemical-Resistant PTFE—The most chemical-resistant plastic dowel pins we offer. These pins can stand up to harsh acids and corrosive cleaners, such as circuit board etching solutions. Similar to acetal, PTFE pins are also slippery and make excellent pivots, but they are not as strong.

Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate—Our most impact-resistant plastic pins, these resist cracking when inserted into tight holes. They are also clear to be less noticeable in your assembly.

High-Strength PEEK—The closest alternative to metal pins, these offer the best strength to stand up to stress and vibration. In addition, they won't degrade or lose their shape when exposed to high heat. They aren't very impact resistant, however, and may crack if inserted too forcefully.

Light Duty Drive Rivet Anchors for Concrete

More secure than masonry nails but not as strong as other anchors for concrete, these are often used to mount lightweight signs and control panels. Also known as tap-in rivets, they’re barbed to resist pullout after being hammered into a hole. All have a rounded head for a finished look that won’t snag on objects.

To install, hammer the anchor through your component into a drilled hole that’s slightly longer than the anchor until the head is flush with the surface. The anchor will compress and then expand inside the hole. To remove, pry out the anchor.

Nylon—Strong, durable, and economical. Best for dry environments, these anchors will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture.
