Nelson Fastener Systems Unflanged Capacitor Disharge Stud TUTC / TUTS / TUTA

These unflanged studs are designed to be welded to thin sheet material by the initial “gap” or “contact” method of stud welding using tip ignition according to the capacitor discharge process. These applications generally provide a weld bond whose strength is sufficient for the application when considering the strength of the sheet to which they are welded. These studs have a flanged weld base which is about the same as the stud diameter. The unflanged “U” studs are used where weld fillet control is more important than weld strength and reliability. The studs are fully threaded, and come in lengths up to 2”
