The BSOA series comprises blind-threaded, self-clinching standoffs designed for permanent installation into metal sheets, providing flush, closed-end mounting. These standoffs are made from hardened stainless steel and are suitable for use in aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less. The BSOA-832-18 variant features an M4 thread, a 0.281 in (7.14 mm) nominal length, and a minimum hole size of 0.050 in (1.27 mm) with a minimum edge distance of 0.31 in (7.9 mm). The part installs into sheet thicknesses up to 0.188 in (4.78 mm) and includes a ground barrel end for grounding/earthing applications. All BSOA standoffs are designed for clinching into thin sheets where the backside is inaccessible.
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.
