Self-Clinching Tapered Guide Pins
Description
Self-clinching tapered guide pins are precision alignment components designed to be permanently installed into thin sheet metal. The tapered nose assists with rapid and accurate mating of panels or assemblies, while the self-clinching feature provides high retention and resistance to push-out and torque without welding or secondary operations.
Key Features
- Tapered lead-in for accurate alignment and guidance
- Permanently installed by self-clinching into sheet metal
- High resistance to axial and rotational forces
- Suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction
Material & Finish
- Material: Stainless Steel, 300 Series
- Finish: Passivated
