BSOA blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels in thin metal sheets, installing permanently into round holes with a flush, closed-end profile. They are made from hardened stainless steel and are suitable for clinching into stainless steel sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 88 or less. The part features a 3.5M3 thread and is rated for sheet thicknesses up to 0.213 in (5.41 mm). Its barrel end provides a closed design to maintain surface integrity on the blind side of 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
