Possible applications through maximum design freedom
The unique construction and flexible design of the bigHead® enable a secure connection in workpieces made of plastic or composite materials without pre-drilling or punching. The bigHead® fasteners can be embedded directly during the production process or subsequently integrated or glued onto the workpiece.
The challenge of finding the right connection solution for composite materials
With the increasing use of composite materials as a result of expanding areas of application, the challenge of finding the right connection solution for every application increases.Our white paper examines some proven interconnect solutions within an ever-growing market.

bigHead® possible applications
bigHeads® are the ideal products for creating secure connections on and in a wide variety of components. The fastening elements enable the efficient assembly of an assembly as well as a combination with a second connection element, such as:
- Threaded connections for assembling an assembly (left picture)
- Cable holder for fixing cable ties (right picture)
bigHead® range
Core range
A pre-defined range of 156 products, supported by usage guidelines and technical data. Core range products can be used in both post-process and co-process applications.
Features
Extended range
Selected product ranges, in a wider variety of fixing type and size combinations.
Features
- Non circular heads, including square and rectangle
- Further circular head diameters
