• Intended for high vibration application points on thermoplastic parts such as bumpers and clips. • Some straight cracks might be located in high vibration areas like plastic supports under the hood. • To counteract the vibrations, these clips are used because the footprint is larger than the Z-Clip. • The extra width covers more surface area and adds rigidity. • The larger footprint allows it to be used horizontally and vertically. • This small design element will cut cycle time and save technicians extra steps. • The leads are notched like someone took an axe to a tree, allowing them to be snapped off with a hand, instead of having to go back with snips. • The time savings does not stop there: if sunken deep enough the leads will break below the surface of the plastic eliminating the need to go back over with a grinder later. • Over time these simple improvements make the difference in profitability and not going over the allocated time.
