Electronic Hardware

The installation and security of avionics and other electronic equipment in modern aircraft depends on an array of ingenious fasteners manufactured by Aerospace Products Company.

Standards include:

  • NAS622 Support Hook
  • NAS573 Clamp Assembly (see below)
  • NAS574 Pin Assembly
  • Mil-F-85731 and MS14108 Equivalents
  • NAS487 and MS33737 Instrument Mounting Nuts

We no longer have a manufacturing source for the forged bolt component of the NAS573 assemblies; however, we may have an alternate part that would be acceptable. We have manufactured a machined bolt in lieu of a forged bolt. All material callouts, dimensions and finishing processes are the same as NAS573-11 or NAS573-12 with the exception that this is a MACHINED bolt and we have also added the additional step of 100% non-destructive testing.

The MOD NAS573 (using the MACHINED bolt) assemblies are comprised of

  • NAS573-7 or NAS573-8 NUT
  • NAS573-9, NAS573-9P, NAS573-10, or NAS573-10P HINGE
  • AP573-11 or AP573-12 MACHINED BOLT
  • MS20392-1C15 PIN
  • MS24665-151 COTTER PIN
  • 10-32 or ¼-28 ALUMINUM ACORN NUT

NOTE:
The MOD NAS573 is an alternate solution exclusively for customers of Aerospace Products Company and is NOT approved by the National Aerospace Standards Committee.
