I am mounting electronic components onto the 1.5 mm back-plate of a new electrical enclosure for my CNC mill.
This includes DIN rail for PCB cards and relays, relatively heavy stepper driver modules and other components.
The stepper modules really need a couple of M5 full-strength fixings, doubtful in 1.5 mm.
Many years ago I used rivnuts in thin sheet metal, but they were impact rivetted from the back.
A version currently available inserts from one side, using a tool similar to a pop-rivet gun.
Is this the best solution ?
Any recommendations for a supplier ?
Keep well,
John.
