DOT® Snap Fastener Normal Action Socket Black (Brass)

Often referred to as military snaps or government black snaps, DOT^® Black Snap Fasteners are matte (flat) black cloth-to-cloth snap components. These are made from high-quality marine-grade brass that is coated in black oxide to provide lasting color and superior resistance to both corrosion and humidity. This uniform black coloring will not rub off and will add a sleek look to your application!

DOT Snap Fastener Normal Action Socket Black (Brass) is a socket to be used for cloth-to-cloth applications. A button (sold separately) rivets to the socket. The installed socket and button can then be snapped to a stud. Use a stud in conjunction with an eyelet. These self-piercing fasteners will penetrate fabric without the need to pre-punch holes.

DOT snap fasteners are excellent for covers, cushions, dodgers, biminis and more. DOT snap fasteners can be used as a forestay hank for sails under 100 square feet when installed on tabs of fabric or webbing.

Please Note: This is a normal action socket, meaning it will separate from the stud with use of normal force. For applications needing a stronger hold, use a hard action socket.
