Spring clips are small, often metal devices designed to hold objects together or secure items in place. They work by using tension from a coiled spring, allowing them to grip tightly when pressure is applied. Commonly used in various applications, spring clips can be found in automotive, electronics, and household items. These clips come in various shapes and sizes, including C-clips, E-clips, and snap rings. Their versatility makes them essential in assembly processes, as they provide a reliable and efficient way to fasten components without the need for additional tools or fasteners.
