What Are Ground Rivets?
Grounding rivet, also known as a grounding rivet, is a specially designed rivet used to establish an electrical ground connection in electrical and electronic equipment. A grounding rivet connects a metal part of the equipment to a ground wire or earth ground through metal to metal contact, thus preventing potential hazards from static electricity buildup or current leakage.

Main Features and Functions
Electrical conductivity
Electrically conductive materials: Grounding rivets are usually made of metal materials with good electrical conductivity, such as copper, aluminum and steel. The choice of material ensures that the rivet is able to conduct electricity efficiently and safely conduct the current from the equipment to the grounding point.
Contact surface design: Grounding rivets are designed with extended contact surfaces to ensure strong electrical contact and reduce resistance.
Mechanical Connection
Strong fixing: Ground rivets not only provide an electrical connection, but also securely fasten multiple components or parts to ensure a stable mechanical connection.
Resistant to vibration and shock: Typically used in environments where resistance to vibration and mechanical shock is required, grounding rivets are designed to ensure a reliable and stable connection.
Wide range of applications
Electronic equipment: Used in electronic equipment and electrical enclosures to prevent static buildup and protect sensitive electronic components inside the equipment.
Electrical Enclosures: Commonly used in the grounding of metal electrical enclosures to ensure the potential balance of the enclosure and prevent the risk of electric shock.
Vehicles and aircraft: In automobiles and aircraft, grounding rivets are used to ensure the electrical grounding of the vehicle body or airframe to avoid static buildup interference with electronic equipment.
