Abstract
An attachment component which includes a body, the body having attachment means intended for allowing the attachment component to be assembled with a part including complementary attachment means, an insertion tip arranged at one end of the body so as to allow at least one portion of the body to be inserted through a part made of composite material, an axial abutment intended for halting the insertion of the body through the part made of composite material, and a breakable portion inserted between the insertion tip and said end of the body, the breakable portion being configured to break when a predetermined force is applied to the insertion tip with a view to detaching the insertion tip from the body.

A fastening component, comprising:
- a body comprising an inner thread configured for assembly of the fastening component to a piece integrating a complementary outer thread, and an axial stop configured to stop insertion of the body through a composite material part;
- an insertion tip arranged at an end of the body, the insertion tip being configured to be inserted through the composite material part, the insertion tip comprising a closed and pointed tip-shaped apex configured to pierce the composite material part;
- a frangible portion linking the insertion tip to the end of the body, the frangible portion being configured to break in order to detach the insertion tip from the end of the body;
- and
- wherein the inner thread of the body does not extend over the frangible portion and the insertion tip, the insertion tip being devoid of any thread.
