Rectangular Blanking Plugs

Rectangular blanking plugs are specialised snap-in fasteners designed to seal unwanted rectangular holes in panels, enclosures, and electrical boxes across UK industrial and commercial applications. These rectangular hole plugs are manufactured from UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6 material, providing excellent resistance to temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C. Unlike traditional round blanking plugs, rectangular plugs are specifically engineered for non-circular openings such as connector ports, power outlet cut-outs, and custom panel modifications. Each rectangular plug features integrated locking fingers that snap securely into place, ensuring reliable installation without the need for additional fasteners or adhesives. These snap-in rectangular plugs are widely used throughout British manufacturing, electronics, automotive, and construction industries to provide professional finishing, environmental protection, and safety compliance. The primary benefit to users is the ability to achieve a neat, flush finish whilst preventing debris, dust, moisture, and contaminants from entering sensitive equipment. Vital Parts stocks rectangular blanking plugs in multiple sizes to accommodate varying panel thicknesses and mounting hole dimensions, all specifically chosen to meet common UK market requirements including American standard connector port dimensions.
