Flush Head Studs

Self-Clinching Studs (Aluminum, Stainless & Steel) For applications that require a strong flush-head assembly in material as thin as .040” (1.0mm), we recommends the use of a self-clinching stud. These industrial fasteners provide an outstanding combination of high torque-out and push-out performance. They are easy to install and provide robust performance.

Typical properties of the self-clinching stud:

Material: Choice of: Heat-treated carbon steel, 300 series stainless steel, and 2024-T4 Aluminum.

Finish:

• Heat-treated carbon steel – Zinc clear
• 300 series stainless steel – Passivated ASTM A380
• 2024-T4 Aluminum – None
• Thread: Class 2A, MIL-S-7742; (6g ISO Metric)

Suitable for use in:

• Heat-treated carbon steel – use in materials with HRB-80 or less
• 300 series stainless steel – use in materials with HRB-70 or less
• 2024-T4 Aluminum – use in materials with HRB-50 or less

Available thread sizes: Inches: Available in #2-56 through 5/16-18. Metric: M2.5x0.45 through M8x1.25.

Application note:

The self-clinching stud is inserted by placing into a properly sized hole and then squeezing into position via use of any standard press device. The metal displaced by the squeezing process flows around the ribs and into the groove creating a flush-head assembly. The stud is locked into the sheet providing high torque-out and push-out resistance.
