Steps of Blind Rivet Installation
- Insert the rivet into the pre-drilled hole, ensuring that the rivet head sits flush against the workpiece.
- Place the rivet gun’s nozzle over the rivet mandrel and hold the tool vertically.
- Activate the rivet gun and pull the rivet mandrel to expand the rivet body and secure the workpiece.
- Once the rivet mandrel breaks off, the riveting is complete. Check that the rivet is secure and flush.

Applications of 3.2 mm Pop Rivets
3.2 mm Pop Rivets are suitable for joining thin sheets in the housings of electrical and electronic equipment, LED lighting fixtures, and home appliances. They provide a more secure fastening than 3 mm rivets while maintaining a small hole diameter and a clean appearance.
Enclosure for electrical and electronic equipment
A 3.2mm diameter is slightly larger than 3mm, making it a more reliable choice. It provides a larger contact area and better stability during riveting. At the same time, it does not require a larger hole like the 4mm version does. Therefore, it is more suitable for thin-sheet fastening applications such as standard electrical enclosures, control boxes, and small chassis.
LED lighting fixtures.
The housing of LED luminaires consists of a backplate, end caps, mounting brackets, and an aluminum shell assembly. A 3.2 mm diameter provides better structural support than a 3 mm diameter while retaining the advantages of a small hole diameter.
Thin-Sheet Connections in Home Appliances
3.2 mm pop rivets are commonly used in the housings, internal brackets, and metal covers of small home appliances that experience slight operational vibrations. The 3 mm size is more sensitive to slight vibrations, whereas the 3.2 mm size effectively avoids this issue.

What certifications to look for in 3.2mm pop rivets
You should focus on these two certifications: ISO 9001 and IATF 16949.
ISO 9001 is a foundational quality management system certification. It demonstrates that a supplier has standardized quality management processes in place to better control the quality of raw materials, production, inspection, and shipping.
The IATF 16949 system places greater emphasis on process control, batch consistency, problem prevention, and quality traceability.
Are there any specialized 3.2mm pop rivets for soft materials?
Large Flange Aluminum 3.2mm Pop Rivets are suitable for soft materials.
These rivets have a larger contact area at the head. This helps distribute the clamping force and reduces the risk of tearing through the material. Additionally, aluminum requires relatively less installation force, resulting in less impact on soft materials.
What is the shear strength of standard 3.2mm pop rivets?
Standard Open Type 3.2mm Pop Rivets：350-1800N
Peel Type 3.2mm Blind Rivets：500N
Sealed Type 3.2mm Blind Rivets：460-2000N
Multi-grip 3.2mm Pop Rivets：650-1700N
Uni-grip 3.2mm Blind Rivets：1200-2000N
For detailed specifications, refer to the technical data sheets for 3.2 mm pop rivets.
What are the advantages of closed-end 3.2mm pop rivets?
Closed-end 3.2mm pop rivets provide better sealing, superior protection against contamination, and more stable rivet mandrel retention.
Closed-end 3.2mm pop rivets have a closed tail. After riveting, the internal channel of the rivet does not remain open, unlike open-end rivets. This helps prevent liquids, air, and dust from entering the interior of the rivet.
Are there waterproof 3.2mm pop rivets available for outdoor projects?
We recommend that you give priority to galvanized Sealed Type 3.2mm pop rivets.
Closed-end 3.2mm pop rivets can improve water resistance. However, their actual water resistance also depends on the installation hole diameter, the flatness of the sheet metal surface, and whether the grip range is appropriate.

what are 3.2 mm pop rivets
3.2 mm pop rivets are small-diameter pop rivets with a shank diameter of 3.2 mm; they are also known as 1/8-inch pop rivets or 1/8-inch blind rivets.
3.2 mm pop rivets consist of two parts: the rivet body and the mandrel. During installation, a riveting tool pulls the mandrel, causing the tail end of the rivet to deform on the back side of the material and form a clamping structure, thereby completing the riveting process.
Are there specific coatings for 3.2mm pop rivets to enhance durability?
1. Galvanizing
Galvanizing is a common basic anti-corrosion treatment suitable for general industrial anti-corrosion needs.
2. Color Coating and Custom RAL Colors
Color coating is an option when brand aesthetics require color matching.
3. Anodizing
Anodizing improves the surface texture of 3.2mm aluminum pop rivets and enhances the stability of the aluminum surface.
4. Stainless Steel Passivation
Passivation further enhances the stability of the stainless steel surface. It is suitable for connection points with high corrosion resistance requirements in humid environments.
5. High-Corrosion-Resistance Coatings
For projects involving long-term outdoor exposure, humid environments, or industrial equipment, zinc-nickel, Dacromet, or other customized corrosion-resistant solutions can be used.
Differences between aluminum and steel 3.2mm pop rivets
| No. | Comparison Item | Aluminum 3.2mm Pop Rivets | Steel 3.2mm Pop Rivets |

| 2 | Fastening Strength | Suitable for light-duty fastening, with lower strength than steel rivets. | Usually provides higher tensile and shear performance than aluminum rivets. |
| 3 | Weight | Lightweight, suitable for lightweight products and assemblies. | Heavier than aluminum rivets, suitable for strength-focused structures. |
| 4 | Installation Difficulty | Easier to install and requires less force from the riveting tool. | Requires higher installation force and a more stable riveting tool. |
| 5 | Suitable Materials | Aluminum sheets, thin metal sheets, plastic parts, and soft materials. | Steel sheets, galvanized sheets, equipment panels, and light sheet metal structures. |
| 6 | Suitability for Soft Materials | More friendly to plastic parts, thin sheets, and soft materials. | Applies higher pressure to soft materials and may require a large flange head. |
| 7 | Corrosion Resistance | Aluminum has natural corrosion resistance and is suitable for general environments. | Standard steel rivets usually require zinc plating or other anti-rust surface treatment. |
| 8 | Appearance Compatibility | Suitable for aluminum panels, light housings, and visible appearance parts. | More suitable for industrial fastening and positions requiring higher strength. |
| 9 | Cost Performance | Usually suitable for high-volume light assembly with lower overall cost. | The unit cost may be slightly higher, but strength and stability are better. |
| 10 | Typical Applications | Electronic housings, small cabinets, appliance panels, aluminum sheets, and plastic parts. | Light sheet metal, equipment housings, metal brackets, steel panels, and industrial assembly. |
