FHA-173-12 is a flush-head self-clinching pin designed for installation in aluminum sheets with a hardness not exceeding HRB 50 or HB 82. It has a nominal pin diameter of 0.173 inch and a length of 1.75 inches (28th in 16ths). The pin requires a minimum sheet thickness of 0.040 inch and a minimum centerline-to-edge distance of 0.28 inch. It is available only on special order and is intended for use in aluminum sheets.
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.
