Sealed Rivet Nuts vs. Standard Rivet Nuts for Battery Enclosures

Sealed Rivet Nuts vs. Standard Rivet Nuts for Battery Enclosures

Choosing the Right Blind Threaded Insert for EV Battery Applications

Not every battery enclosure requires the same type of rivet nut.

The right choice depends on whether the fastening point must address only mechanical fastening or also contribute to the overall environmental sealing strategy.

Standard Rivet Nuts

Standard open-end rivet nuts are widely used for creating threaded fastening points in sheet metal.

They provide:

• Blind installation

• Internal threads

• Good serviceability

• Installation in thin panels

• Efficient assembly

They are suitable for many automotive and industrial applications.

Sealed Rivet Nuts

Sealed rivet nuts use a closed-end or sealing-oriented configuration.

They are particularly relevant when the fastening point is located within an enclosure where environmental protection is important.

Potential applications include:

• EV battery packs

• Battery enclosures

• Electrical cabinets

• Outdoor equipment

• Energy storage systems

Key Differences

Which Should Engineers Choose?

Choose a standard rivet nut when the application primarily requires a reliable threaded connection.

Consider a sealed or closed-end rivet nut when the fastening point must also be incorporated into an enclosure sealing strategy.

The complete assembly should always be evaluated before selecting the final design.

For EV Battery Applications

Battery enclosures can experience water, dust, vibration, thermal cycling, and service operations.

Therefore, the fastener should be evaluated together with:

• Gaskets

• Sealing washers

• O-rings

• Panel design

• Fastener spacing

• Clamp load

• Enclosure testing
