The FHA-073-10 is a flush-head self-clinching pin designed for installation in aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less and a Brinell hardness of 82 or less, suitable for sheet thicknesses of 0.040 inches or greater. The pin has a nominal diameter of 0.073 inches and a length corresponding to a 10th-inch code. It installs permanently through pressurized embedding, providing secure fastening with high torque-out and pushout resistance. Similar variants in the FH/FHS/FHA series are available in steel and stainless steel, but the FHA type is specifically recommended for softer aluminum.
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.
