PEM® FHS™ self-clinching pins are flush-head fasteners designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.020 inches (0.51 mm), offering high torque-out and pushout resistance. They are installed using a standard press, with the head embedding into the sheet to form a secure, flush assembly. FHS pins are recommended for use in sheets with a Rockwell 'B' hardness (HRB) of 70 or less and a Brinell hardness (HB) of 125 or less. The pins are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel and are suitable for applications requiring alignment, positioning, or pivot functionality. The exact dimensions and thread specifications of FHS-103-8 are not provided, but the series shares these general performance and installation characteristics.
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.
