Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels, designed to install into metal sheets with a flush, closed-end profile. The BSO series installs into sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.025 in (0.63 mm) and is intended for use in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less. This part has a #10-32 thread, a nominal head diameter of 0.281 in, a body length of 0.312 in, and requires a minimum hole size of 0.050 in and a minimum edge distance of 0.31 in. The part features a thicker wall to reduce risk of cracking or cutting into the mating panel, as specified for the 8632 thread code. For applications requiring corrosion resistance, a nickel-plated variant with an NC suffix is recommended.
These standoffs, which use the proven self-clinching design, install with a squeeze in properly sized round holes - and become permanently mounted in the thin sheet.
When blind-threaded types are used, outer sheet surfaces are not only flush, but closed as well.
If you require a standoff which we do not offer in this bulletin, please contact us. We will be happy to work with you to satisfy your special need.
Standoffs with thread codes offer greater wall thickness
