A method for fixing a plurality of workpieces via a hollow rivet element with an open setting end and a closed closing end. The method includes passing the rivet element through mutually aligned openings of the workpieces. The method also includes introducing a fluid, in particular air, under high pressure from the setting end of the rivet element in a hollow space of the rivet element. The method also includes plastically deforming and setting of the rivet element by the fluid at the closed closing end of the rivet element.

A fastener structurally configured to secure an electronic component in an enclosure without using tools during installation to provide enhanced installation efficiency and simplicity. The fastener may include a housing portion having a plunger receiving portion, a plunger portion configured to be received in the plunger receiving portion, a biasing portion configured to be received on a distal end portion of the plunger portion, and an operating portion configured to be coupled with the plunger portion such that movement of the operating portion from a first position to a second position results in relative movement between the plunger portion and the plunger receiving portion such that the biasing portion is axially compressed and radially expanded so as to secure an electronic component in the enclosure.
