Self-Clinching Flush Head Studs provide strong reusable captivated male threads in thin panels. Utilizing a special proven castellated clinch feature, this fastener has excellent torque-out, pull-through and push-out characteristics whilst providing a flush finish on the underside of the panel, meaning that minimal surface finishing is required after installation. Like all self-clinching fasteners they are installed using a parallel squeezing action, so require access to both sides of the panel. Flush Head Studs are available in a range of thread sizes and lengths, manufactured from electro zinc plated steel, 300 stainless steel and aluminum and are suitable for installation in ductile steel and aluminum panels with a recommended maximum hardness of 80 HRB for steel parts, 70 HRB for 300 series stainless steel parts and 50 HRB for aluminum parts. Flush Head Studs can also be supplied with a dog-point thread lead-in to aid component assembly.
