Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting where access is limited to one side, providing flush, closed-end installation. The BSOA series, made from hardened stainless steel, is recommended for aluminum sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 50 or HB 82. The part BSOA-3-5M3-25 corresponds to the BSOA variant with a 3.5M3 thread and a length of 25 mm, featuring a thicker wall to reduce the risk of panel damage. The standoff installs into sheet metal as thin as 0.63 mm and is suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance and a flush, closed-back finish.
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
