Blind-threaded, self-clinching standoffs designed for permanent installation in metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm, providing a flush, closed-end profile on the mount side. The BSO series features a thicker wall for increased bearing surface, reducing the risk of panel damage during clinching. Part code 8632 indicates a .164-32 thread size with a nominal length of 0.281 inches and a minimum hole diameter of 0.050 inches. Installation requires a hole centered at least 0.31 inches from the sheet edge. These standoffs are suitable for steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less and Brinell hardness of 150 or less, and are available in hardened steel.
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
