Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting into metal sheets with a closed-end barrel for flush, non-through installation. The BSOA series is made from hardened stainless steel and is recommended for use in aluminum sheets with a Rockwell "B" scale hardness of 50 or less, or Brinell hardness of 82 or less. The part BSOA-440-18 corresponds to a 0.112-40 thread, 0.562 in (14 mm) length, with a minimum hole size of 0.040 in (1.02 mm) and minimum distance to edge of 0.187 in (4.75 mm). It has a countersunk head for flush seating and a closed-end barrel for enhanced structural integrity. The series is certified for clinching into aluminum only, with optional nickel plating available for corrosion resistance when specified by the NC suffix.
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.
