Nylon66 Snap Rivets

Nylon Snap Rivets are rivets made of nylon. They are also called plastic snap rivets because common plastic Snap Rivets are made of nylon, which has good elasticity and memory properties, hence the name.

Nylon Snap Rivets are a branch of rivets. Its role is to two separate objects to play the riveting function. The general principle is similar to metal rivets. Nylon Snap Rivets mostly utilize the elasticity and memory properties of the nylon material itself, thus realizing its function. It is generally used in a certain proportion of NYLON66 and NYLON6 mixed to achieve the corresponding elasticity and pulling force.

Nylon Snap Rivets can be categorized into monobloc nylon rivets and split nylon Snap Rivets according to their shape. Monobloc Nylon Rivets have only one component, while Split Nylon Snap Rivets generally consist of two components. In the use of split nylon rivets are more easily disassembled and can be reused. The riveting principle is generally a male member of the female member of the large support to play the role of riveting. There are generally push-type and threaded two structures. The monobloc nylon rivets rely more on the nylon material itself to play the role of the elasticity of the riveting cooperation.

Generally used for PC boards and machine boards fixed, or radiator or fan fixed, instead of screws, without tools to complete the assembly. Characterized by easy-to-fix, improved productivity. The specific method of use is to drill holes in the machine board and the board to be fixed and then insert the nylon rivets into it so that the two boards can be combined.

Nylon Push Snap Rivets for EV Battery Modules

Application in Electric Vehicle Battery Module Cooling Plate Assemblies

Overview

With the rapid growth of electric vehicles, battery module design has become increasingly critical to vehicle safety, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency. In modern EV battery modules—especially those using cylindrical lithium-ion cells such as 18650 and 21700 formats—internal fastening solutions must meet strict requirements for electrical insulation, vibration resistance, lightweight design, and efficient assembly.

Nylon push snap rivets are widely used in EV battery module assemblies to securely fasten internal cooling plates, functional cover plates, and insulating support components, offering a reliable, cost-effective alternative to traditional metal fasteners.

Application Scenario

In cylindrical cell battery modules, cooling plates and internal structural covers are installed near the battery cells. These components are typically non-load-bearing but play a vital role in:

Maintaining consistent cell positioning

Supporting thermal management systems

Ensuring long-term stability under vibration and thermal cycling

Because these parts are located near high-voltage components, the fastening method must eliminate the risk of electrical short circuits while maintaining structural integrity throughout the vehicle’s service life.

Why Nylon Push Snap Rivets Are Used in EV Battery Modules

1. Electrical Insulation and Safety

Nylon rivets offer excellent dielectric properties, preventing electrical conduction between components. This is especially important in EV battery modules, where metal fasteners may pose a risk of short circuits or electrochemical corrosion.

2. Lightweight Fastening Solution

Compared to steel or aluminum fasteners, nylon rivets significantly reduce component weight. This supports overall battery pack lightweighting, contributing to improved vehicle efficiency and driving range.

3. Vibration and Fatigue Resistance

EV battery modules are exposed to continuous vibration and repeated thermal expansion and contraction. Nylon rivets provide stable retention under these conditions, helping to maintain long-term fastening reliability without loosening.

4. Efficient and Automated Assembly

Nylon blind rivets do not require tapping or threaded holes. They are compatible with high-speed automated assembly lines, reducing assembly time and overall manufacturing cost—an essential advantage for high-volume EV production.

Typical Components Fastened with Nylon Rivets

Battery module cooling plates (liquid-cooled or air-cooled designs)

Internal cover plates and protective panels

Insulating spacers and structural support elements

Non-load-bearing module sub-assemblies

Application Results

In practical EV battery module applications, nylon rivets have demonstrated:

Stable long-term performance in high-voltage environments

Consistent assembly quality across large production volumes

Reduced risk of corrosion and electrical failure

Improved production efficiency and process reliability

These benefits make nylon rivets a proven fastening solution for modern electric vehicle battery modules.

Conclusion

As EV battery technology continues to evolve, fastening solutions must support higher safety standards, lighter structures, and more efficient manufacturing processes. Nylon rivets provide an optimal solution for internal EV battery module assemblies, particularly for cooling plates and functional covers located near cylindrical battery cells.

Their combination of electrical insulation, lightweight performance, vibration resistance, and assembly efficiency makes nylon rivets an ideal choice for EV manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers worldwide.
