CLS-M2-5-0 is a self-clinching nut designed for installation in aluminum or steel sheets, providing high pushout and torque-out resistance with a serrated clinching ring to prevent rotation after installation. It is part of the CLS series, which is recommended for use in materials with specified hardness limits and is dimensionally equivalent to NASM45938/1 specifications. The nut installs by cold flow of sheet metal into an undercut under axial pressure, forming an integral joint.
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.
