Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels, with a closed-end barrel for flush surface appearance and no protrusion on the blind side. The BSO series installs into metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm and is suitable for steel or aluminum sheets with Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less. The part number BSO-M5-8ZI corresponds to the M5 thread size and 8 mm length, with a minimum hole size of 5.35 mm and a minimum distance to edge of 8 mm. The series is made from hardened stainless steel, with optional nickel plating for corrosion resistance. All variants mount permanently when pressed into round holes using a press-fit method.
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.
