FHA-173-10 is a flush-head self-clinching pin designed for installation in aluminum sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 50 or HB 82. It has a nominal pin diameter of 0.173 inch and a length of 1.75 inches (173 in the 16ths-of-an-inch code). The pin installs in sheets as thin as 0.040 inch with a minimum hole size of 0.197 inch and requires a minimum centerline-to-edge distance of 0.28 inch. It is recommended exclusively for aluminum sheets and is available only on special order.
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.
