FHA-137-8 is a flush-head self-clinching pin designed for installation in aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or less and HB 82 or less. It is recommended for sheet thicknesses of .040" / 1 mm and greater. The pin has a nominal diameter of .173" and a length of 1.37" (137 in 16ths of an inch), with a minimum hole size of .197" and a minimum centerline-to-edge distance of .28". The pin is available on special order and features a flush head that embeds into the sheet during installation, providing secure retention with high torque-out and pushout resistance. The clinching profile and material are consistent with FHA-series pins manufactured from 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.
