Capacitor Discharge Keyhole Studs

Keyhole studs are specialized fasteners featuring a narrow, slotted base that provides a strong attachment point without through-holes or dual-side welding. They enable quick, reliable assembly while minimizing distortion and heat damage, offering a valuable solution for automotive, aerospace, electrical, and thin sheet metal applications due to their ability to maintain surface integrity and prevent warping, with high-strength, load-bearing capabilities.

Advantages of Keyhole Studs in Stud Welding Processes

Capacitor discharge keyhole studs are strong, reliable weld studs that offer benefits to capacitor discharge stud welding processes and applications. They provide a load-bearing attachment directly to steel or other conductive materials, featuring a keyhole shape to help guide the stud into position and enable precise placement, as well as:

Provide a flush, low-profile attachment point that is load-bearing
Evenly distribute heat for high-strength, permanent fastening
Ensure consistent weld quality across manufacturing operations
Compatible with automated and robotic operations, or manual stud welding
Offer improved alignment and fit, while eliminating the need for nuts or through-holes

Stud Welding Applications for Capacitor Discharge Keyhole Studs

Keyhole studs can be welded to thin sheet metal without burning through or warping the material. With their keyhole design, they evenly distribute heat during welding to reduce the risk of material damage, while providing a reliable fastening solution for applications where speed, strength, and minimal material distortion are critical. They are ideal for automotive, aerospace, electrical, and mechanical applications, including:

Car bodies and chassis
Aircraft panels
Mounting brackets, clips, and hardware
Grounding points for enclosures, panels, and housings

These capacitor discharge weld studs are excellent for applications where vibration and mechanical stress are factors, providing a more secure fastening than mechanical options, such as rivets or bolts, and offering quick assembly with threaded attachments that don’t require through-holes.
