Rivet fastener Dedra 11Y401 — aluminium blind rivet, pack of 50

Dedra 11Y401 aluminium blind rivet pack of 50 contains aluminium blind rivets designed for permanent fastening of metal, plastic and thin-sheet materials. These blind rivets are intended for applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible; they form a clinched, vibration-resistant joint and are suitable for assembly, repair and maintenance tasks in construction, automotive and general DIY projects.

Advantages

Aluminium construction provides corrosion resistance and low weight while ensuring reliable clamp force for many fastening tasks. Blind installation allows fastening in confined or inaccessible areas without the need for access behind the joined parts. Supplied in a pack of 50, these rivets are convenient for repetitive work and small-to-medium projects, reducing downtime for reloading and enabling consistent joint quality.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and light-gauge panels
• Attaching plastic components and trim
• Blind-side fastening in vehicle repair and bodywork
• Structural and non-structural assemblies in construction
• General DIY and maintenance tasks where one-sided access is required

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium rivet body suitable for non-ferrous and mixed-material joints
• Type: blind (pop) rivet for one-sided installation
• Pack quantity: 50 rivets per pack
• Typical applications: thin-sheet fastening, panels, trims and light assemblies
• Performance: designed to provide vibration-resistant permanent joints when installed correctly

How to use

Prepare the parts to be joined by aligning and clamping them together. Drill a hole matching the rivet diameter through the assembled materials. Insert the rivet into the hole from the accessible side so the mandrel head is exposed. Use an appropriate blind-rivet tool to pull the mandrel until the rivet body deforms and forms a secure blind-side bulge; the mandrel will snap off when the correct deformation is reached. Remove any loose mandrel remnants and inspect the joint to ensure a tight, flush installation.

Usage recommendations

Choose a rivet diameter and grip range that match the combined thickness of the joined materials. For mixed-material joints, consider compatibility to avoid galvanic corrosion; an aluminium rivet is best paired with aluminium or coated substrates where possible. Use a correctly sized drill bit, maintain perpendicular alignment during installation, and follow tool manufacturer guidance for torque and stroke to achieve consistent, reliable joints.
