Rivets MODECO MN-41-632 blind aluminum rivets 3.2 mm shank Ø / 10 mm length, pack 50

MODECO MN-41-632 blind aluminum rivets with a 3.2 mm shank diameter and 10 mm body length are single-sided fasteners intended for joining thin sheets and components when access to the reverse side is restricted. Supplied in a pack of 50, these rivets are made from aluminum for corrosion resistance and low weight, making them suitable for light-duty fastening tasks in metalworking, vehicle trim, HVAC ducting and general repair work.

Advantages

Aluminum construction provides a balance of strength and corrosion resistance while keeping the rivet lightweight. The blind (pop) design allows installation from one side without the need for access behind the joined materials. Standard 3.2 mm shank diameter and 10 mm body length accommodate a range of thin-sheet thicknesses and common panel assemblies. Pack of 50 offers convenient quantity for small projects or maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and panels
• Automotive trim and bodywork repairs
• HVAC ductwork assembly and repairs
• Light-duty general maintenance and DIY projects

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum body and mandrel (aluminum rivet)
• Rivet type: blind (pop) rivet
• Shank diameter: 3.2 mm
• Body length: 10 mm
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces

How to use

Drill a hole matching the 3.2 mm shank diameter through the materials to be joined, ensuring proper alignment. Insert the rivet through the hole until the blind head is seated against the surface, then use a compatible blind rivet gun to pull the mandrel and form the blind side bulge. Continue pulling until the mandrel breaks off and the rivet is fully set. Remove any mandrel remnants and check the joint for secure clamping and correct seating.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, select a rivet length appropriate for the combined thickness of the materials so the folded tail forms a secure blind-side bulge. Use a rivet gun rated for 3.2 mm rivets and wear safety glasses during installation. Avoid using aluminum rivets in applications where high shear loads or galvanic corrosion with dissimilar metals may be a concern unless appropriate surface treatments or isolation are applied.
