PEM® FH-series self-clinching pins are designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.020 in (0.51 mm), with high torque-out and pushout resistance. The flush-head design installs flush with the sheet surface and is compatible with sheets having a hardness of HRB 80 or less and HB 150 or less for type FH, HRB 70 or less and HB 125 or less for type FHS, and HRB 50 or less and HB 82 or less for type FHA. These pins are installed using a standard press, displacing material to lock securely in the panel. Part numbers in this series may include trailing codes for finish, plating, or packaging, all of which are covered under the same series specifications.
PEM® self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets and squeezing into place with any standard press. The squeezing action embeds the head of the stud into the sheet. The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove – creating a flushhead assembly and securely locking the stud into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances.
FH (flush-head) studs are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel . They are also available unthreaded on special order.
