Spanish term

Remache ciego de rotura de vástago

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Solar panel installation
From a lengthy catalogue of parts used in the installation of solar panels on roofs such as profiles, guide rails, bolts, washers and so on. Here we're talking rivets

Remache ciego de rotura de vástago con expansión en forma de trébol.

Not specialising in rivets, I'm a bit lost here, the best I can come up with is "Shaft-deforming blind clover rivets". I figure that all rivets expend by definition I can sort of exclude that bit

"El Remache Trebol Bralo es un remache ciego de rotura de vástago concebido para la unión, de una forma rápida y sencilla, de materiales rígidos con materiales blandos o de baja resistencia.
Este remache cuenta con una gran contra-cabeza formada por tres pétalos que proporciona una gran superficie de contacto por la parte trasera. Esta amplia expansión en el lado ciego distribuye la carga y la fuerza de apriete reduciendo el riesgo de aplastamiento y rotura de los materiales."

"Bulbex® trifold rivets are a style of blind rivets that are specially designed for structural and other high-strength applications. Also called Tribex® rivets, these tri fold rivets feature a slotted sheath; when installed, the sheath splits to create three “wings” that provide a large bearing surface. "
