Install:
Image 1: The Captive Fastener is pushed into the front panel (e.g. 19” drawer, cover panel). The riveted leaf
spring widens to prevent the Captive Fastener from falling out of the panel. This keeps it secure and makes it
captive. The cutout can be made larger to allow for tolerance adjustment.
Image 2: The Captive Fastener, pre-assembled in the front panel, is inserted into the cutout of the rear panel
(Image 3) and kept in position by the SNAP wedges. This ensures alignment of the two panels.
Images 3 and 4: Full insertion of the Captive Fastener into the second panel securely joins the two panels
for a vibration-proof connection.
Disengage Panels:
1. By turning the insert (Turning Knob or Screwdriver) the snap-wedges are pulled backwards and the front
panel can be disengaged from the back panel.
2. The Captive Fastener is held in position and remains held in the front panel by the leaf spring.
Applications which require more than one Captive Fastener:
In applications using more than one Captive Fastener, the Captive Fasteners can be pre-released, one-by-
one, by turning the insert (Turning Knob or Screwdriver) and pulling the Captive Fastener until the leaf spring
touches the front panel. When all the Captive Fasteners have been pre-released, the front panel can be
removed from the back panel. The Captive Fasteners stay assembled and held in the front panel by the leaf
spring.
