Abstract
A hybrid fastener assembly includes a body and a removable insert. The removable insert includes a first flange having a first circular hole. The body includes a receptacle, a second circular hole, a retention mechanism, and a plurality of lateral walls. The removable insert is accommodated in the receptacle and is inserted in a lateral direction perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the body. The second circular hole aligns with the first circular hole to form a channel for receiving the threaded fastener. The retention mechanism secures the removable insert inside the receptacle. At least two lateral walls include a snap lock for mounting the hybrid fastener assembly to a first component.
