BSOA blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels in thin metal sheets, with a closed-end barrel providing a flush, non-pierced outer surface. These standoffs install into holes with a minimum diameter of 0.040 in (1.02 mm) and require a minimum edge distance of 0.27 in (6.86 mm). Made from hardened stainless steel, they are suitable for clinching into stainless steel sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 88 or HB 183. The 6440 thread code indicates a thicker wall for enhanced bearing surface and reduced risk of panel damage. The part is available in lengths coded in 32nds of an inch, with the 18 code corresponding to 0.562 in (14.27 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
