Aluminum Panel Connector
Overview
Aluminum is chosen for panel connector when the application demands its particular corrosion and strength profile. It pairs with compatible finishes to meet the target market and price point.
See the full Panel Connector page for all sizes, materials, finishes, and specifications.

Values are configurable for OEM/ODM orders and confirmed on your datasheet.
Selection Factors
- Knock-down (KD) assembly and whether it must be re-openable
- Cam lock + dowel systems vs bolt-and-barrel-nut joints
- Panel thickness and the matching drilling pattern
- Drilling diameter and depth for the cam housing and dowel
- Joint strength and how many times it will be assembled
- Flat-pack / RTA packaging and tool-free or single-tool assembly
Installation Notes
Bore the cam housing and dowel holes to the system pattern, press in the dowels, insert the cam bolt, drop the cam, and turn a quarter-to-half turn to draw the joint tight. Drilling accuracy is what makes the joint flush.
