Double D Blanking Plugs

Double D blanking plugs, also known as keyed hole blanking plugs, strain relief hole plugs, and double-D panel plugs, are specialised nylon components designed to seal unused Double D shaped holes with opposing flat sides in panels, enclosures, and equipment housings. These UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6 secure blanking plugs feature a unique keyed profile that prevents rotation whilst providing reliable sealing against dust, moisture, and contaminants in demanding UK industrial applications. Manufactured specifically for blanking off unwanted strain relief mounting holes and keyed openings, these professional-grade plugs deliver superior security compared to standard round blanking solutions.

Extensively used throughout British manufacturing sectors, Double D blanking plugs serve critical functions in automotive production, electrical enclosure assembly, telecommunications equipment, and industrial machinery manufacturing. Their primary advantage lies in their anti-rotation keyed design which ensures permanent positioning and prevents loosening under vibration or mechanical stress. The opposing flat sides create a secure mechanical lock that maintains precise alignment whilst the integrated locking fingers provide tool-free installation into panel thicknesses up to 3.2mm. With exceptional temperature resistance from -40°C to 105°C and ultra-low profile head thickness of just 1.6mm, these components deliver flush finishing and reliable performance across diverse UK applications where secure, permanent hole sealing is essential.

Available Materials and Style Options:

• High-performance UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6 construction for superior durability and fire resistance
• Keyed Double D profile with opposing flat sides preventing rotation and ensuring secure positioning
• Integrated flexible locking fingers providing secure snap-fit installation
