BSO series blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for permanent installation into thin metal sheets, providing flush, closed-end mounting without requiring access to the back side. They are suitable for use in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less and Brinell hardness of 150 or less. The M3 thread size corresponds to a 3 mm pitch, and the 14 length code indicates a nominal length of 0.437 inches (11.1 mm). The part installs into a minimum hole size of 4.22 mm and requires a minimum edge distance of 4.8 mm. The barrel end is closed, enabling flush mounting on the sheet surface.
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.
