摘要： A push nut fastener has first and second gripping openings. The first gripping opening is substantially circular and the second gripping opening is substantially rectangular. The substantially circular gripping opening has a plurality of blades or finger-like engagement portions extending from the outer circumference of the substantially circular gripping opening towards the center of the substantially circular gripping opening. The substantially rectangular gripping opening has a plurality of blades or finger-like engagement portions extending from the outer perimeter of the substantially rectangular gripping opening towards the center of the substantially rectangular gripping opening. The substantially rectangular gripping opening includes at least two blades or finger-like engagement portions, a respective blade extending from each of two opposing sides of the substantially rectangular gripping opening. The push nut may have flanges formed at two opposing ends of the member. The flanges may be formed integrally from the same piece of material as the push nut fastener. The flanges may have unequal lengths, to differentiate one end of the push nut fastener from the other end. The push nut fastener may be included in electrical components, for example in a DSX jack. An exemplary digital signal cross-connect jack has a respective pair of posts extending from each side, with a respective push nut fastened to each respective pair of posts.

摘要翻译： 推动螺母紧固件具有第一和第二夹紧开口。 第一夹持开口基本上为圆形，第二夹持开口基本为矩形。 基本上圆形的夹持开口具有多个叶片或指状的接合部分，从大致圆形的夹持开口的外圆周向基本圆形的夹持开口的中心延伸。 基本矩形的抓握开口具有多个叶片或指状接合部分，从大致矩形的抓持开口的外周向大致矩形夹持开口的中心延伸。 基本上矩形的抓握开口包括至少两个刀片或指状接合部分，从基本上矩形的夹持开口的两个相对侧中的每一个延伸的相应刀片。 推动螺母可以具有形成在构件的两个相对端处的凸缘。 凸缘可以由与推动螺母紧固件相同的材料片整体地形成。 凸缘可以具有不等长度，以将推螺母紧固件的一端与另一端区分开。 推动螺母紧固件可以包括在电气部件中，例如在DSX插座中。 示例性的数字信号交叉连接插孔具有从每一侧延伸的相应的一对柱，其中相应的推动螺母固定到每个相应的一对柱。
