FH-series self-clinching pins are flush-head fasteners designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.020 inch (0.51 mm). They install using standard press equipment, with the head embedding into the sheet to create a secure assembly featuring high torque-out and pushout resistance. These pins are available unthreaded on special order and are compatible with sheets meeting specified hardness limits, including HRB 80 or less for Type FH. Installation requires properly sized holes, and the pins maintain structural integrity in materials with Brinell hardness up to 150.
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.
