The Panel link fasteners create a permanent flush joint between two pieces of sheet metal. They are installed using a squeezing action, which causes the sheet metal materials to into two separate clinch profiles within the fastener. Type DSF, DSFP and DSFW fasteners can attach two sheets which are too thin to weld, fasten sheets of unequal thickness, join dissimilar metals unable to be welded and even attach ultra-thin metal sheets.
