Discuss the effect of plastic brittleness in snap-fit joints

What will be an ideal response?


Snap-fit joints depend on the ability of the plastic material to deform slightly without breakage or permanent deformation. If the plastic part is so stiff that small amounts of movement will cause it to break, snap fits cannot be used. This breakage might also occur in the mold is a snap fit depends on an undercut in the part that must be stripped out of the mold.
