Receptacles

Mating sockets such as receptacles play an important part in joining component parts. Mismatches between component parts can lead to weakened joins and a resulting failure to meet the aerospace industry’s high safety standards. Receptacles usually include features that facilitate mounting, thus helping to ensure that the correct mating part is used and reducing the margin for error.   

In addition to bearing characteristics to aid the matching of correct mating parts, receptacles can also be crafted with locking functions which add additional stability to the join, making it impossible for the fasteners to shake loose when subjected to vibrations.

At Avantus, we offer a range of locking receptacles as standard. However, all of the products in our portfolio can be adjusted to meet each client’s needs; upon enquiry, our technicians will work closely with customers to ascertain the best part, specifications, production methods and finish to meet industry needs and help our clients to achieve excellence.
