CD Weld Studs – Flanged and Non-Flanged Capacitor Discharge Studs | Helefastener

Capacitor discharge (CD) weld studs fuse to thin sheet in 1–5 milliseconds with no drill hole, no filler and no reverse-side marking – the fast way to add external threads on painted, coated or finished panels. Helefastener supplies flanged (PT) and non-flanged (IT) threaded studs in mild steel copper plated, 304 stainless steel, aluminium alloy AlMg3 and lead-free brass, plus non-flanged and aluminium variants for weight-critical builds.

  • Flanged PT studs – general purpose: see the flanged CD weld stud specification
  • Non-flanged IT studs – lower profile, smaller weld footprint
  • Steel, stainless and aluminium bodies – matched to parent material
