The 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 with standard pressing equipment, embedding the head to achieve high torque-out and pushout resistance. The pins are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, and unthreaded variants are offered on special order. The series accommodates panel hardness up to HRB 80 and HB 150 for the FH type, HRB 70 and HB 125 for the FHS type, and HRB 50 and HB 82 for the FHA type. Improved corrosion resistance and low-displacement head options exist within the broader PEM range, but specific characteristics for FH-173-6ZC are not stated.
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.
