Features and Benefits
Self-clinching fasteners are pressed into holes in sheet metal by applying a steady squeezing force. This results in the cold-flow of sheet material, which is displaced by the knurl, into the undercut area on the shank of the fastener. Once fully embedded, the knurled area prevents torque-out during tightening of mating part.
Thread: Class 2B, MIL - S - 7742; (6H ISO Metric)
Use In: CFH-Materials with Rockwell Hardness of B-70 or less
Note 1 - Installation Tips:
Thin Sheets - May be installed in panel thickness of .040 to .059 (1mm to 1.5mm) if fastener is partially installed in sheet. The knurled collar must be raised above sheet by the difference in thickness from .059 (1.5mm)
Thick Sheets - If fastener is installed in sheet greater than .070 (1.7mm), knurled collar may crack if mating screw is tightened above maximum torque limit
* Locking Element is Clear Nylon
