FHA-173-5 is a flush-head self-clinching pin designed for aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less and a Brinell hardness of 82 or less, compliant with the FHA series specifications. It has a nominal pin diameter of 0.173 inch and a length of 0.197 inch, suitable for sheets a minimum of 0.040 inch thick. The pin installs flush and requires a minimum centerline-to-edge distance of 0.28 inch. It is available 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.
