Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels, installed into metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm with a flush, closed-end barrel. The BSOA series features a ground end for grounding/earthing applications, made from hardened stainless steel, and is suitable for clinching into stainless steel sheets with Rockwell B hardness of 88 or less. The part is specified with a 3.5M3 thread size and length code 16 (approximately 5.08 mm). A nickel plating option is available for enhanced corrosion resistance. The minimum hole size is 4.22 mm, with a minimum distance to edge of 4.8 mm.
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
