Copper round-head rivets Key benefits Durable, corrosion-resistant fastening: Made from high-quality copper for long-lasting performance in environments where corrosion resistance matters. Reliable electrical continuity: Copper’s excellent electrical conductivity makes these rivets suitable for applications that require a conductive joint or grounding. Secure, adjustable closure: After insertion, the rivet shank can be struck, pressed or turned to form a permanent head, producing a strong mechanical lock. Features and function Material: High-quality copper, corrosion-resistant. Head type: Round-head rivet for a neat, low-profile finish on the visible side. Forming: Can be cold-formed to shape the rivet into the ideal closure for the specific joint or assembly. Hardening: Round-head rivets can be hardened in some applications to increase strength where needed. Installation: Insert the rivet into the prepared hole; secure by striking, pressing or turning the shank end to form the tail and lock the pieces together. Performance and compatibility Ideal where electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance are required. Compatible with assemblies that accept cold-formed fasteners and where a permanent, tamper-resistant joint is desired. Performs well in joints of copper, soft metals and mixed-metal assemblies where a conductive connection is needed. Typical applications (use scenarios) Electrical enclosures and grounding lug assemblies where a conductive, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Small equipment and instrument assemblies that need a low-profile, permanent rivet joint formed by cold-heading. Field repairs or manufacturing of assemblies where a rivet is inserted and then mechanically formed on-site (struck, pressed or turned) to create a secure closure. What to expect A reliable, conductive fastener that resists corrosion and can be cold-formed or hardened for increased strength. Straightforward installation using common riveting or forming methods to produce a permanent mechanical and conductive connection.
