Applications:

| Four Plugnuts in the corners of this stamped
bracket hold it securely in place when the bracket is assembled with screws
to its mating part in a submarine torpedo. |
A Plugnut that takes a thumb screw provides a
wear-resistant thread in cap for holding graphite molds used in cable
splicing. |
