Anixter Components, formerly Heyco, has launched three new economical and lightweight edge clip fasteners: Standard Edge Clips, ‘S’ type Edge Clips and Cable Edge Clips. The clips are used to hold panels, components and flanges together in automotive, telecoms, electronics, construction and panel building applications. They are simple to use and can be fixed in place easily, allowing OEMs to save valuable installation time and associated costs.

The edge clip fasteners can simply be pushed or tapped into place with no drilling or additional screws needed. They are ideal for the assembly of dissimilar metals, fibre and hardboards, wood, hard and soft plastics or rubbers. The clips accommodate panels from 0.4mm up to 11.5mm thick.

The ‘S’ type edge clips are removable and reusable. They are designed to hold metal, plastic or wooden panels at 180 degrees to each other and can accommodate panels from 0.2 mm up to 2.4 mm thick.

Cable edge clips are ideal for securing pipes or cables to metal or plastic panels. They are fast and easy to fit, requiring no special installation tools, and include rolled edges to prevent fraying or chafing. The cable clip range accommodates panels from 0.5 mm up to 4.4 mm thick and cable and pipe diameters from 3.2 mm to 31.8 mm.

“Spring Steel Clips have always been a popular method of securing panels together, because of their simplicity of use,” says Andrew Fletcher, Technical Director, Anixter Components. “This new range enables us to offer our customers a wide variety of fastening solutions. Our spring steel clips are a low-cost solution, accommodating a range of panel sizes and applications.”

All clips are available on carbon spring steel with phosphate and delta tone black plating and offer a salt spray protection of 250 hours minimum. All parts are RoHS compliant.
