Nickel Plated Brass Blanking Plug

Nickel plated brass plugs are ductile and conductive. Nickel plating improves corrosion resistance, provides a smooth appearance and wear resistance. Used to keep out dust, dirt and moisture

Snap Bushing

The snap-on bushing is made of nylon 66, with high fire rating, oil and corrosion resistance. It is mainly used to plug the prepared holes on the housings of various cabinets, chassis, etc. It can be used as a preparation hole, or used to plug excess holes to maintain the appearance of the disk. To install, simply drill holes into the base plate and press the hole plugs in.
