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 allows for a low-profile, secure fit after installation with standard press equipment. These pins are available unthreaded on special order and are compatible with sheets having a hardness of up to HRB 80 and HB 150 for Type FH, HRB 70 and HB 125 for Type FHS, and HRB 50 and HB 82 for Type FHA. The pins install with the head embedded into the sheet material, displacing metal into an annular groove to form a permanent joint.
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.
