Captive nuts are specialized fasteners designed for ease of assembly in various applications. These internally threaded components feature an integral mechanism that prevents them from disengaging completely from the host material. Typically enclosed within a housing or bracket, captive nuts streamline installation by eliminating the need for additional tools or intricate alignment during assembly. This design ensures secure fastening while allowing for repeated disassembly and reassembly without the risk of losing the nut. Captive nuts find widespread use in industries like electronics, automotive, and machinery, enhancing efficiency and reliability in the assembly process.
