CLS-0518-2 is a self-clinching nut designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets, providing high pushout and torque-out resistance with a serrated clinching ring to prevent rotation after installation. It is dimensionally equivalent to NASM45938/1 specifications and compatible with Class 3A/4h or Class 2A/6g screws. The part is installed by applying parallel pressure to cold-flow sheet metal into an undercut, and is recommended for sheets meeting specified hardness limits.
Type S, SS, CLS, and CLSS nuts provide load-bearing threads in thin sheets with high pushout and torque-out resistance.
Type SP, PEM 300® nuts provide strong load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .030”.
Types S and SS are recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 80 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 150 or less.
