Rivets

Rivets are in stock at Tenco Electronics. A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite to the head is called the tail. On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place. Tenco offers inventory, pricing, & datasheets for Rivets. To know more, please view our large section of Rivets below.
