TAP PAD 6X30 M4 Aluminium Capacitor Discharge Stud – ECD34-46-030
Product Overview
The TAP PAD 6X30 M4 Aluminium Capacitor Discharge (CD) Stud (Part No. ECD34-46-030) is a precision-engineered threaded tap pad designed for capacitor discharge (CD) stud welding applications. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, this tap pad offers a fast, reliable, and permanent fastening solution for joining threaded studs to thin sheet metal and aluminium substrates without warping, discoloration, or heat distortion on the reverse side.
Ideal for industries such as automotive, marine, HVAC, sheet metal fabrication, signage, and general metalworking, this M4 tap pad delivers a strong, weld-grade bond in a fraction of a second using CD stud welding technology.
Key Features
- Material: Premium-grade Aluminium for excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight strength
- Thread Size: M4 metric thread — precision-tapped for accurate fastener engagement
- Base Diameter: 6mm — compact footprint for tight or space-restricted applications
- Length: 30mm — ideal for a wide range of mounting and fastening depths
- Welding Process: Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding — no burn-through, no back marking
- Part Number: ECD34-46-030 for easy identification, ordering, and inventory tracking
Why Choose Capacitor Discharge (CD) Aluminium Tap Pads?
Capacitor discharge stud welding is the preferred method for attaching studs and tap pads to thin-gauge aluminium and metal sheets. Because the weld cycle is completed in milliseconds, there is:
- No heat distortion or discoloration on the visible (opposite) surface
- No pre-drilling required in most applications
- Instant high-strength bond suitable for structural and cosmetic applications
- Clean, flush finish — perfect for visible or painted surfaces
This makes the ECD34-46-030 tap pad especially suited for applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy matter, such as enclosure panels, aluminium cladding, boat hulls, appliance housings, and architectural metalwork.
Applications
- Automotive body and trim fastening
- Marine and boat building (aluminium hulls and decks)
- HVAC ductwork and sheet metal assembly
- Electrical enclosure and cabinet manufacturing
- Signage and display panel mounting
- General aluminium fabrication and metalworking
