Blind Hole Mount

Innovative, Push-In Cable Tie and Mount Combination

“Blind holes” are often used inside such machines as large appliances or on car engines. A blind hole is a type of stand-off mounting hole that goes to a specific depth without continuing through the opposite end. This prevents a mounting screw or other fastener from poking through and potentially damaging other components.

But turning screws and adding extra mounting hardware takes time, especially in spaces difficult to access.

Blind Hole Mount Cable Ties - HellermannTyton Our Blind Hole Mount Cable Tie accelerates and simplifies the mounting process. No tools needed – simply press it in for an instant, secure attachment.

Each mount comes pre-assembled with an inside or outside serrated cable tie or offset cable tie to quickly mount bundles in high-volume production settings or for repairs in the field.

Proprietary Fast-Grip Technology

Central to the Blind Hole Mount Cable Tie product family is its innovative, proprietary mount – a metal locking mechanism secured to a nylon body. The metal component flexes to allow easy insertion. Once attached, its uniquely angled design delivers the extraction force manufacturers require for common electrical applications.

If desired, installers can remove the mount nondestructively with a twist. This not only protects the blind hole from damage, it makes the process quick and effortless. In most situations, this can be done by hand, though a hex driver can also be used.

No Extra Hardware, Messy Glue or Tools

Manufacturers and installers want simpler fastening solutions that reduce or eliminate time-consuming operations, hand fatigue and repetitive strain injuries. Enter HellermannTyton engineering.

Blind Hole Mount Spending time in the field with automotive and appliance manufacturing customers, we saw several alternative blind hole fastening methods. Some companies used screws to attach the mount, with the addition of one or two additional components to hold wires. Others used messy glue to hold the mount inside the blind hole. Still others utilized inferior designs that were prone to vibrating out of the hole.

Our engineers came through with a sophisticated solution that the operator simply presses into the blind hole using a thumb.
