SOLUTIONS FOR CRITICAL MANUFACTURING

Datasheet – Self-Clinching Blind Press Nuts

Self-Clinching Blind Press Nuts

Description

Self-clinching blind press nuts provide strong, permanent female threads in thin sheet materials where rear access is limited or where a sealed/blind installation is required. The blind design avoids through-panel breakthrough while providing robust resistance to rotation and push-out.

Features

Blind construction – no breakthrough on the reverse side
High resistance to rotation and axial load
Installs into thin sheet materials using standard pressing methods
Unified and Metric thread forms available
Steel (heat treated) and stainless steel options
