Self-Clinching Stud FH4-032-14 from PennEngineering® is designed for permanent installation in stainless steel sheets with a hardness of HRB 90 or less. This stud provides externally threaded attachment points and is suitable for sheets as thin as 0.030 inches. The fastener is made from specially hardened stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance comparable to 300 series stainless steel. It is particularly useful in applications exposed to corrosive environments, such as outdoor equipment, medical devices, and food processing equipment. The installation process requires proper hole sizing and tooling to ensure effective embedding and secure locking within the sheet.
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.
FH4 & FHP (flush-head) Studs for Stainless Steel are designed to provide strong threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .040” . Type FHP studs have high corrosion resistance. Both types are designed for use in stainless steel sheets with a hardness of 92 or less on the Rockwell “B” scale
