FH4™ and FHP™ studs provide externally threaded attachment points in stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.030 in., with a maximum hardness of HRB 92 or HB 192. They are designed for use in stainless steel applications requiring corrosion resistance, including medical, chemical, and food processing equipment. The fasteners install permanently via press fitting, creating a flush, secure assembly with high torque-out and pushout resistance. The specific variant FH4-032-8 aligns with the FH4 series that offers M4 x 0.7 thread size in a 0.030 in. sheet capacity. All variants feature precipitation-harden
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
