A second clip geometry in our custom metal clip family, with a different leg arrangement and grip profile. It exists because clip fit is specific to the housing, and two reference geometries cover far more enquiries than one.
A different leg arrangement suits housings where the first clip's contact points do not land correctly.
Spring steel, 65Mn or stainless, with any of nine finishing routes.
Grip force is set on samples against the actual part, as with every clip we make.
Have both styles sampled if the housing is unusual. Testing two candidates is cheaper than iterating one through several rounds.
Clips whose contact points land on the wrong part of a housing and mark it
Grip force set from a drawing rather than tested against the real assembly
Dimensional and load figures are set per order against your drawing or sample, so they are marked TBC rather than filled with catalogue numbers.

Available in Stainless steel, Spring steel, Carbon steel, 65Mn, Music wire, in wire from 0.1-8 mm, with any of our nine surface finishing routes. Geometry, end treatment and finish are all specified per order.
ISO 9001, SGS certificate and RoHS report (stated on the legacy site, certificates pending re-confirmation). Certificate copies are sent on request once re-confirmed.
The two clip styles differ in grip geometry alone. Neither is better; they fit different housings.
Send the housing with your enquiry. Clip choice is decided far more quickly with the part than with a description.
Yes. Asymmetric geometry that prevents incorrect fitting is worth designing in on any clip an operator handles under time pressure.
It can be measured and agreed on samples, which is more reliable than specifying it as a number on a drawing.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
