Ball Stud and Receptacle Design Guide

Ball Studs and Ball Stud Receptacles provide a simple solution for assemblies that must be detached often. Most often used in panel fastenings, ball studs and receptacles permit a sturdy connection point which can nevertheless be overcome without the need for fastening tools.

A Ball Studs height is determined by the panel thickness the ball stud penetrates when it engages the clip.  When reviewing the ball stud pages, either male or female, determine the panel thickness range by first measuring the offsetting panel thickness the ball stud passes through then go to the chart and look for “panel range” to determine the correct ball stud for your application.  If you’d like some assistance please call us and a sales associate will be happy to discuss your application.
