Your benefits
Versatile. Reliable. Innovative.

DIRAK-SNAP-Technology (DST) sets a new standard in fastening solutions. It combines flexibility, safety, and convenience across a wide range of applications and loads—all without the need for tools. With precise fitting in sheet metal cut-outs, DST ensures high-strength, secure locking connections that resist loosening, twisting, or slipping.

Built for reliability and engineered with sophistication, DST fasteners deliver exceptional performance every time, making them the perfect choice for your next application.

High strength and secure locking

DST fasteners deliver exceptional stability, with pull-out resistance that rivals traditional bolted solutions. Designed to withstand heavy loads, these fasteners offer unmatched reliability over time.

Fastening materials of different thicknesses

From sheet metal to plastic and wood, DST adapts to various material thicknesses and is available with additional reinforcement options for added strength and stability.

Rattle-, vibration- and seismic-proof

Engineered for durability, DST fasteners remain secure under vibrations, shocks, and seismic conditions. Many products meet rigorous standards, including DIN EN 61373 for vibration and GR-63-CORE for earthquake resistance.

Reliable and error-free installation

Avoid mistakes like over-tightening. With DST’s intuitive design, you’ll hear an audible “click,” ensuring a secure connection even in tight, awkward, or hard-to-reach places.

Tool-less installation in seconds

Simplify your workflow with a tool-free fastening process. Install DST products in seconds, saving valuable time and effort.

Secure and electrically grounded

Integrate both secure mechanical connections and reliable electrical grounding with optional grounding clips for components requiring conductivity.

Safe and convenient removal

DST products are as easy to dismantle as they are to install. Depending on the design, removal can be done with standard or DIRAK-specific tools, offering flexibility for maintenance, repairs, or transport. The option for specialized tools also adds protection against unauthorized access or tampering.

How it works

DIRAK-SNAP-Technology is based on the functional principle of a latch lock, combining precision engineering with innovative design. It uses two key parts: Tension Spring housed inside the guide and Clamping Jaws with beveled edges.

When the fastener is pushed through a cutout, the beveled clamping jaws compress into the guide. Once fully inserted, the spring releases, pushing the clamping jaws outward to create a firm, locked connection with a distinct “SNAP” sound. This mechanism ensures reliable, tool-free fastening with secure, high-strength performance.
