Male Ball Studs
Male ball studs are a spring catch style fastener and ideal for applications where repeated engagement and disengagement are required. These are a popular choice for electrical panels, access doors, cabinet doors and other sheet metal enclosures. Different tensions with the same stud can be achieved depending on the Ball-Stud Speed Clip* chosen.
To ensure doors sit flush and snug against the mating panel, Ball studs come in a variety of standard body lengths. The length of the male thread is also offered in a variety of sizes to fit a wide range of door and panel thicknesses. Due to these options, Ball Studs serve as an easy connection in many different applications.
*Ball-Stud Speed Clips are not manufactured by Lyn-Tron.
How are Male Ball Studs Attached?
Male Ball Studs have an external thread and are installed with 6-32 threaded nut. For a more decorative finish, take a look at our range of thumb nuts. In addition to holding the Ball Stud in place, the thumb nut will also serve as a Pull Style Knob for your door.
To install, insert the male thread through a pre-drilled hole in the door or panel that is aligned with the Speed Clip. Pass the male thread through the hole and attach the nut on the opposite side. The ball stud should be facing the clip so it can engage when the door is shut. Misalignment resulting from a normal amount of manufacturing tolerances can be readily absorbed by the spring legs on the speed clip.
