CLSS-032-3 is a self-clinching nut for stainless steel sheets, designed to provide high pushout and torque-out resistance with a serrated clinching ring to prevent rotation after installation. It installs into sheets as thin as 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) by cold-flowing sheet material into an undercut under parallel pressure. The nut is dimensionally equivalent to NASM45938/1 specifications. Performance data for the CLSS series shows torque-out resistance values up to 13 inch-pounds and pushout resistance up to 1380 pounds when installed in cold-rolled steel, and up to 450 pounds pushout in 5052-H34 aluminum. The exact values for CLSS-032-3 are not specified, but the part belongs to the CLSS series with these performance characteristics.
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.
