Threaded End Connector with Stud (0.875") by DragonPlate

DragonPlate's threaded end connectors simplify and fortify the connection of carbon fiber tube ends to other accessories using a 1/4"-20 thread. Choose from 0.25" or 0.75" stud length options.A significant challenge in bonding metal fittings into carbon fiber tubes is the differential shrinkage of metal components when exposed to temperature drops. Our patent-pending connector addresses this by featuring a slotted tubular design that serves two purposes: it allows aluminum to contract without significantly altering the insert's nominal diameter and provides flexibility to reduce peel stresses by minimizing the aluminum part's peel force on the adhesive layer. Additionally, the design incorporates a ridged outer surface, enhancing the bond inside the carbon fiber tube by maximizing epoxy in shear.The harmonious blend of design, functionality, and thermal delamination resistance makes DragonPlate tube connectors a versatile and durable choice for various projects. Each connector comes with a foam plug for adhesive containment and bond line control micro glass beads to ensure a proper fit.
