CFHC-M4-10 concealed-head self-clinching studs install permanently in steel or aluminum sheets as thin as 1.6 mm to provide reusable M4 x 0.7 threads while leaving the opposite sheet surface smooth and unmarred. They require a blind hole with a diameter of 4.6 mm and minimum depth of 7.37 mm for installation using a PEMSERTER® press or equivalent. The stud is made from stainless steel, passivated, and designed for use in sheets with hardness up to HRB 70 / HB 125. Installation displaces sheet material to form a secure, flush fit. The fastener meets NAS63540/4 specifications when ordered with the corresponding NAS part number.
These studs ensure permanent mounting in metal sheets as thin as 1.60mm.
The fastener head is locked securely in a blind, milled hole and is able to handle substantial loads. The concealed-head feature allows the side of the sheet opposite installation to remain smooth.
Sheet preparation only requires a milled blind hole to the recommended minimum depth. Center-cutting end mills for hole preparation are available from PennEngineering. Installation of the concealed-head studs and standoffs is simple using a hollow anvil and solid punch. Place the head of the fastener in the hole and insert using any standard press. Displaced sheet metal flows smoothly around the head into the undercut.
