Blind Rivets MODECO MN-41-648 aluminum 4.8 mm diameter, 10 mm grip length, pack of 50

MODECO MN-41-648 aluminum blind rivets are single-sided mechanical fasteners with a 4.8 mm body diameter and a 10 mm grip length, supplied in a pack of 50. These blind (pop) rivets are made from aluminum for corrosion resistance and lightweight performance and are intended for permanent fastening where access is limited to one side. They are suitable for joining overlapping sheets, plastic panels and thin structural parts in a variety of applications including construction, automotive repair and general metalwork.

Advantages

Aluminum construction offers good resistance to corrosion while keeping the rivet weight low. The blind installation design allows assembly from one side only, simplifying work in confined spaces. The 4.8 mm diameter and 10 mm grip length provide a balance between shear and tensile strength for joining thin to moderately thick materials. Supplied in a pack of 50, the rivets are ready for repetitive tasks without frequent restocking.

Suitable for

• Joining sheet metal panels and thin structural parts
• Attaching plastic or composite panels to frames
• Automotive body repairs and trim fastening
• Construction and HVAC sheet metal assembly
• DIY projects and light metal fabrication

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminum
• Rivet type: blind (pop) rivet
• Body diameter: 4.8 mm
• Grip (installed length): 10 mm
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces

How to use

Select the correct drill size and prepare the holes through the parts to be joined. Insert the rivet through the aligned holes with the mandrel head protruding. Use a compatible blind-rivet tool to pull the mandrel until the rivet body deforms and clamps the materials together; the mandrel will break off when the correct installation force is reached. Verify that the rivet head is seated flush and that the joint is secure. For repeated work, keep additional rivets and a spare mandrel set for the riveting tool on hand.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill bit matched to the 4.8 mm rivet body diameter for a correct fit. Ensure material thickness is within the 10 mm grip capability; for thicker stacks choose a rivet with a longer grip. For applications exposed to harsher environments, consider using compatible corrosion-resistant coatings or selecting alternative rivet materials where galvanic compatibility matters.
