Button plate

The Button Plate is a solution for Type 3 push-on connector. It is designed for securing buttons to thin panels or materials that are not suitable for screw-in applications. Applications include installing solid wall panels that must be removed to access the electrical services behind them, and where adjacent component constraints prevent the use of a Type 1 BONDED fastener.

The button plate is made of the same material (ABS) as the Type 1 Bonded connector, making it suitable for a wide range of adhesives. For example, two-component acrylic adhesives for metal or laminate panels, a compatible adhesive for the Type 1 connector (Corian, Hanex, etc.), or an adhesive for bonding with acrylic. The distinctive hole pattern in the strip ensures optimal adhesive distribution and adhesion.

The plate is supplied with a suitable mounting screw and nut for securing the purple Type 3 connector button (not supplied). Although not its primary use, the Type 1 connector button (lime green) can be secured to the plate using an M5 countersunk screw (not supplied), which is useful for users requiring a glued button mount.

What is BUTTON-FIX?
The Button-fix concept is simple: durable buttons are attached to the back of the board and a matching connector is screwed to the surface of the adjoining board. Then the two plates are placed on top of each other and closed until a “click” sound is heard.
