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 in (0.51 mm), offering high torque-out and pushout resistance. They are recommended for use in sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 70 or less and a Brinell hardness of 125 or less. The pins install using standard pressing equipment, with the head embedding into the sheet and locking securely through displaced material flow. FHS pins are available unthreaded on special order and are part of the broader FH/FHS/FHA flush-head stud and pin series compatible with standardized sheet thicknesses and hardness ranges.
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.
