Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting into metal sheets with flush, closed-end installation. The BSO series installs into sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.025 in (0.63 mm) and features a 5.35 mm barrel diameter for M5 x 0.8 thread. Minimum hole size is 5.35 mm, and the minimum distance from the hole center to sheet edge is 6.8 mm. Constructed from hardened stainless steel for use in stainless steel sheets up to HRB 88 / HB 183. The 16 in the part number corresponds to a 0.500 in (12.7 mm) length. Available with optional nickel plating for corrosion resistance.
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.
