The FH, FHS, and FHA series are flush-head self-clinching pins designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.020 inches (0.51 mm). These pins install with standard pressing equipment, embedding their heads into the sheet to create a flush, high-strength assembly with elevated torque-out and pushout resistance. Type FH is suitable for sheets with hardness up to HRB 80 and HB 150, type FHS for sheets up to HRB 70 and HB 125, and type FHA for aluminum sheets up to HRB 50 and HB 82. Unthreaded versions are available on special order. The pins share the same installation method and mechanical performance characteristics as their threaded stud counterparts in the FH series.
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.
