Generally less than 8 mm with cold riveting, larger than this size with hot riveting. But there are exceptions. For example, the nameplate on some locks is riveted by the interference between the rivet and the lock body hole.

R-type plastic rivets, also known as expansion rivets, are composed of plastic sub-nails and female buckles. It does not need to use installation tools during installation, place the installed base in the smooth hole, and then press the head, the specially designed feet expand and stretch after being stressed, and are firmly locked on the installation surface. It is often used to connect plastic shells, lightweight boards, insulating materials, circuit boards, or any other thin, lightweight materials, beautiful and practical, and easy to use.

Fan rivets are specially designed for manual installation. They can be pulled in through the holes of the panel or the bottom frame. They are made of elastomer material with good toughness and can be installed quickly even in interference assembly. The design is clever and has elastic function.
