Automotive Fir Tree Mount Cable Ties: Hole and Panel Selection Guide

Fir tree mount clips are selected by mounting hole range first, then panel thickness, bundle diameter and material. This guide reviews approved TOBEYHAO items 001 to 008 for Middle East B2B buyers who need clear specification and packing inputs before a quotation.

Start With the Mounting Hole, Not the Tie Length

Automotive fir tree mount cable ties are usually specified after the panel hole is already defined. In Middle East B2B harness and assembly projects, the first decision is the push mount diameter that must seat in a round hole. A clip that is visually similar can still fail if its specification does not match the hole.

The approved fir tree mount clip range covers eight catalog items, with specification ranges from 3.5-4.2 mm up to 9.7-10 mm. This means the hole range is the primary selection field, not the overall part appearance. Confirm the hole diameter on the drawing before choosing a clip.

Do not estimate the hole size from a sample panel alone. Measure the finished hole after coating, painting or welding if those processes change the opening. If you need a specific bundle or tube routing, keep that data separate from the hole data.

Approved Hole Ranges for Fir Tree Mount Clips

The following approved item data gives the catalog identification, specification range, packing and unit weight where listed. Part numbers are for catalog identification only and do not confirm vehicle fitment, brand authorization or original-equipment status. A drawing and sample check are required before production use.

Use this list as a starting filter. If your mounting hole is outside these ranges, the item is not the correct starting point.

  • Item 001: specification 3.5-4.2 mm; unit weight 0.48 g; packing 1,000 pcs/bag.
  • Item 002: Part No. ALSFT5-01; specification 4.5-5.5 mm; mounting hole 4.5-5.5 mm; panel thickness 1-3 mm; bundle diameter 2.5-34 mm; material PA66; flammability 94V-2; operating temperature -40 to 120°C.
  • Item 003: Part No. ALSFT6-02; specification 5.9-6.5 mm; unit weight 0.48 g; packing 500 pcs/bag.
  • Item 004: Part No. ALSFT6L-03; specification 6-6.6 mm; unit weight 0.59 g; packing 500 pcs/bag.
  • Item 005: Part No. ALSFT9-05; specification 9-10.5 mm; unit weight 2 g; packing 250 pcs/bag.
  • Item 006: Part No. ALSFT9-05; specification 9-10.5 mm; unit weight 1.63 g; packing 250 pcs/bag.
  • Item 007: Part No. ALSFT9-05; specification 9-10.5 mm; unit weight 1.55 g; packing 250 pcs/bag.
  • Item 008: Part No. ALSFT10-06; specification 9.7-10 mm; unit weight 0.94 g; packing 500 pcs/bag.

Panel Thickness and Bundle Diameter Decisions

Panel thickness controls how much of the fir tree body passes through the hole and how firmly the clip locks. In the approved data, item 002 lists a panel thickness of 1-3 mm. For other items, panel thickness is not stated, so it must be confirmed in the quotation or PI before tooling or harness release.

Bundle diameter is equally important for routing. Item 002 lists a bundle diameter of 2.5-34 mm. If your harness bundle or tube is larger or smaller, do not assume another item will match. Request a confirmed bundle range for the exact item.

For automotive harnesses, the mounting point often determines the clip more than the tie itself. Check nearby components, panel ribs, weld studs and service clearance. A correct hole range alone does not guarantee a clean installation.

Material, Temperature and Flammability Data

Material selection affects flexibility, heat resistance and long-term performance. In the approved data, item 002 is listed as PA66 with flammability 94V-2 and an operating temperature of -40 to 120°C. Other items in this group do not list material, flammability or temperature values.

PA6 and PA66 material options may be discussed for an order, but the exact material is confirmed in the quotation and PI. Do not assume that a listed value for one item applies to another item.

Middle East storage and transport conditions can be demanding. Keep cartons away from direct sun, high heat and moisture before assembly. If the destination has specific labelling or import requirements, confirm them with a local broker or authority.

Packing, Unit Weight and Container Planning

Approved packing for this clip range includes 1,000 pcs/bag, 500 pcs/bag and 250 pcs/bag. Unit weights range from 0.48 g to 2 g depending on the item. Carton quantity varies by size and packing choice, so confirm the carton plan before booking freight.

Use unit weight and bag quantity to estimate handling, label printing and warehouse space. For mixed orders, keep each item number and packing format separate in the purchase order.

OEM labels and packing are available. MOQ and production time depend on the model and packaging requirements. EXW and FOB may be offered depending on the quotation.

Installation Checks Before Full Production

All items in this group use push mount in a round hole. Before full production, check that the panel hole has no sharp burrs or paint build-up that could change the effective diameter. Test insertion and removal on a sample panel that matches production conditions.

Confirm the harness or tube routing around the mounting point. The clip should hold the bundle without pinching, twisting or forcing the clip body. If the routing changes, the required hole range or bundle range may also change.

A drawing and sample check are required before confirming vehicle fitment or original-equipment status. Catalog values are a starting point, not an approval for a specific vehicle programme.

Procurement Checklist for Middle East Importers

For a quotation that can be compared properly, provide the following inputs in one message. This reduces back-and-forth and helps confirm the correct item, packing and documents.

Order-dependent values such as final size, tensile value, temperature range, certification, packing, weight and lead time must be confirmed in the formal quotation or PI. TOBEYHAO can review the checklist with you. Contact Tobey Tian on WhatsApp +86 181 6242 0909 or email tobey870909@gmail.com.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the Part No. to confirm vehicle fitment?

No. Part numbers are catalog identifiers only. They do not confirm vehicle fitment, brand authorization or original-equipment status. A drawing and sample check are required before production use.

Which item matches a 4.5-5.5 mm mounting hole?

Item 002, Part No. ALSFT5-01, lists a specification of 4.5-5.5 mm, mounting hole 4.5-5.5 mm, panel thickness 1-3 mm and bundle diameter 2.5-34 mm. Other items in this group have different specification ranges.

Are material and temperature values available for every item?

No. Only item 002 lists PA66, flammability 94V-2 and operating temperature -40 to 120°C. For other items, request confirmation in the quotation or PI.

What packing should I plan for?

Approved packing includes 1,000 pcs/bag, 500 pcs/bag and 250 pcs/bag. Carton quantity varies by size. OEM labels and packing are available; MOQ and production time depend on the model and packaging requirements.

What should I include in an enquiry?
