Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs install permanently into metal sheets through a blind hole, providing a closed-end mounting solution with flush outer surfaces. These standoffs are designed for use in steel or aluminum sheets with hardness up to HRB 80 / HB 150. The part features a 5M3 metric thread and a 20 mm length, with a barrel designed for stable clinching without rear access. Installation requires a properly sized hole and press-fit application.
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
