Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels, with a closed-end barrel providing flush, uninterrupted surfaces on the head side after installation. These standoffs install into metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm and feature a through-hole threaded barrel for mating components. The BSO-series is constructed from hardened stainless steel and is suitable for clinching into stainless steel sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 88 or less. Dimensions include a minimum hole size of 0.040 inch (1.02 mm) and a nominal thread size of #4-40, with a length of 0.500 inch (12.7 mm) for the 16-length code. The ZI finish indicates nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance. The part is designed for applications requiring optimal edge distance and structural integrity in thin sheet assemblies.
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.
