Mini Dual Locking Support Posts
Mini dual locking support posts are compact snap-in spacers designed to push into two opposing holes and hold small components or panels a fixed distance apart without screws tools or secondary fixings. Their reduced size makes them ideal for confined installations and miniature assemblies where space is limited but secure spacing is still essential. Manufactured primarily from durable nylon or plastic these fasteners are lightweight electrically insulating and resistant to vibration.
What are Mini Dual Locking Support Posts?
Mini dual locking support posts feature barbed arrow-head ends on both sides which clip into pre-drilled or moulded holes. When pressed into place the flexible barbs compress and then expand behind the panel to lock securely. The compact cylindrical centre body defines the spacing between two surfaces ensuring consistent separation and reliable support.
The mini format allows these support posts to be used in tight enclosures and small electronic housings where standard size spacers may be unsuitable. Their push-fit design enables fast repeatable installation without threaded fasteners adhesives or specialist tools while still providing strong retention and long-term stability.
Mini dual locking support posts may also be described as mini snap-in spacers miniature push-in standoffs compact double-ended PCB supports or small panel spacers. These terms are often used interchangeably across electronics and industrial industries to describe compact double-ended spacing fasteners.
Typical applications
-
Commonly used in PCB mounting applications where small printed circuit boards must be supported accurately inside tight housings.
-
Suitable for compact electronic devices sensors control units and display modules. They are also used to space and secure thin plastic or lightweight metal panels where minimal visual impact and reduced footprint are important.
-
In automotive interior electronics and appliance control systems mini dual locking support posts are frequently used to mount small components within dashboards control panels and enclosed casings.
-
Nylon construction provides electrical insulation corrosion resistance and vibration damping making them suitable for both commercial and light industrial environments.
Key features and benefits
-
Rapid tool-free installation helping to speed up assembly in confined production environments.
-
The arrow-head barbs deliver secure push-in retention while the rigid centre body maintains accurate spacing between components.
-
Their compact design supports high-density layouts and modern miniaturised products.
-
Nylon provides excellent resistance to vibration wear and many chemicals while remaining lightweight and non-conductive.
