The BSOA series consists of blind-hole, threaded, self-clinching standoffs made from hardened stainless steel, designed for installation into steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less. These standoffs provide a flush, closed-end mounting surface and are suitable for applications requiring permanent, load-bearing attachment without access to the back side of the panel. All variants share a minimum hole size of 0.105 in (2.67 mm) and a minimum distance to edge of 0.165 in (4.2 mm). The barrel end is closed to prevent penetration through the sheet.
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
