RC-10 Nylon Plastic Standoff Spacer Rivet Push- 10mm In Fixed Support

Specifications:

• Model: RC-10
• Material: Nylon 
• Color: White
• Type: Push-In Rivet / Fixed Support 
• Total Length: 23mm 
• Standoff Height: 10mm 
• Mounting Hole Diameter: ~3.0mm - 4.0mm
• Feature: Permanent lock, non-conductive, tool-less install

Key Applications:

• Industrial Control Panels: Mounting power distribution boards to metal backplanes.

   

• Consumer Electronics: Securing PCBs inside injection-molded plastic housings.

   

• Automotive Electronics: Providing vibration-resistant support for sensors and dashboards.

   

• Mass Production: Significantly reducing assembly time in volume manufacturing.

Project Evolution

• Past Projects (Prerequisites): If you’ve spent hours tightening M3 screws on a large-scale project, you’ve experienced the "Hardware Bottleneck."

   

• Feature Upgrade: Switching to the RC-10 unlocks "Rapid-Fixed" assembly. It removes the need for screwdrivers and nuts, cutting assembly time by up to 70% while improving resistance to mechanical vibration.

   

• Effort/Requirements: Beginner. Simply align the board and push until you hear the locking click.

Virtual Technician & Wiring

 Quick Guide:

• Ensure your mounting holes are pre-drilled to 3.5mm (standard for RC-10).
• Align the rivet over the hole in the chassis.
• Push the rivet until the bottom wings expand.
• Snap the PCB onto the top support pillar.

Safety Note: This is a semi-permanent fastener. While it can be removed by compressing the wings with pliers, it is designed for permanent installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the standoff height?
   The RC-10 provides a 10mm clearance between surfaces.
2. Is it removable?
   It is designed to be permanent, but can be removed by compressing the            wings from the underside.
3. What hole size is required?
   A 3.5mm to 4.0mm hole provides the best locking grip.
4. Is it conductive?
   No, it is made of Nylon 66, an excellent electrical insulator.
5. Can I use it on metal plates?
   Yes, it is ideal for isolating PCBs from metal chassis.
6. Is it flame retardant? 
   No
7. How many pieces are included?
   This price is for 1 piece.
8. Is it better than a screw?
   For speed and vibration resistance, yes. For easy frequent removal, a screw is better.
9. What color is it?
   This is the natural white/translucent nylon version.
10. Does it rust?
    No, it is 100% plastic and rust-proof.
11. Can I use it in high-heat areas? It is safe for standard electronics heat, but avoid direct contact with heating elements.
12. Is it RoHS compliant?
    Yes.
13. Will it fit an Arduino?
    Yes, it fits standard 3.2mm+ PCB holes.
14. What is the "Rivet" part?
    It refers to the push-in locking mechanism that requires no separate nut.
15. Can I paint it?
    Not recommended as paint may affect the wing flexibility.
16. How much weight can it hold?
    It is designed for standard PCB weights; use one per corner for best results.
17. Is there an M3 version?
    The RC-10 is sized to fit holes similar to M3 screw holes.
18. Does it require a tool for installation?
    No tools required, just finger pressure.
19. Will it snap in cold weather?
    Nylon is durable, but use caution in extreme sub-zero temperatures.
20. Is a datasheet available?
    Critical dimensions are provided here; it follows standard industrial RC-10 footprints.
