Boss caps

Boss caps are cup-shaped rings stamped from metal sheet which are pressed onto the top of hollow plastic bosses by hand, with a pneumatic device, or with a light press. The caps reduce the tendency of the bosses to crack by reinforcing the boss against the expansion force exerted by screws. The caps are used with thread-forming screws and include a single thread for additional strength.
