Some GD saleman [Oops, make that very nice saleman. He took me along for lunch.][Just kidding, all you sales types out there. You know how much I like to put burrs under your saddles. ;-) We kid because we care.] got into the catacombs to wake-up our engineers and talk to them about screws.
Anyhow, we're trying to assess this, new to us [they've been around for a year and a half or so], fastening product. Actually, it seems pretty cool. [Well, cool from a gearhead stand-point, you know!!! Shuddap!!!]
What are your experiences with Rivscrew� [ http://www.avdel.textron.com/index.htm?products/speed/rivscrew.htm ] when attaching part to circuit boards? We're thinking maybe the hot tin dipped brass.
What suppliers provide comparable parts?
What special tooling is required? How much does it cost?
