Zusammenfassung:A pin for use as an earthing stud on a panel 11 comprises a head 14, a knurled portion 15 separated from the head by a groove 23, a threaded portion 16, a breakneck 17 and a gripping portion 18. The pin is inserted through a preformed hole in the panel and the gripping portion 18 is gripped and pulled by the jaws 27 of an installation tool. The knurled portion 15 is pulled into the panel and bites into it, the reaction to the pull being applied to the panel around the hole by the end face of a narrow annular nose tip rim 30. This reaction forces material of the panel to enter the groove 23 to assist in locking the pin to the panel. The gripping portion 18 is then broken off, to leave the threaded portion 16 projecting from the panel, and mechanically and electrically connected to it.
