Thermoplastic Snap-Fit Joint Design

Snap joints are a very simple, economical and rapid way of joining two different components. All types of snap joints have in common the principle that a protruding part of one component, e.g., a hook, stud or bead, is deflected briefly during the joining operation and catches in a depression (undercut)in the mating component. This guide will help you understand the common types of snap-fit joints and how to incorporate them into your thermoplastic part designs.
