Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs install permanently into metal sheets, providing flush, closed-end mounting with threaded cavities that do not penetrate the back side. These units are designed for sheets with hardness up to HRB 80 / HB 150 and feature a 5M3 metric thread. The part includes a thicker wall to enhance bearing surface and reduce risk of panel damage during installation. The ordering code '14' indicates a length of 0.437 inch (11 mm). The designation 'ZI' corresponds to the nickel-plated finish for corrosion resistance. All dimensions and performance characteristics align with the BSO series specifications.
These standoffs, which use the proven self-clinching design, install with a squeeze in properly sized round holes - and become permanently mounted in the thin sheet.
When blind-threaded types are used, outer sheet surfaces are not only flush, but closed as well.
If you require a standoff which we do not offer in this bulletin, please contact us. We will be happy to work with you to satisfy your special need.
Standoffs with thread codes offer greater wall thickness
