Heat Staking
Staking plastic using
heat and pressure
Heat staking is a method of joining
two or more parts where at least one
of the parts is made out of plastic. The
bond is made by partially de-forming
the plastic part in order to fix the
other. Heat staking is commonly used
in high volume/low cost applications
like automotive components,
telecommunications components and
consumer appliances.

Heating the plastic makes it easier to form a stake and
prevents cracking. Glass filled plastics have a small work
window of +/- 10°C and therefore require precise
temperature control. If the temperature is too high, the
glass fibers will come out of the plastic, leading to
sticking and a rough finish. Too low a temperature, on
the other hand, will cause cracks and cold deformation.
Plastic without glass is easier to bond because of the
larger work window.
