Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting into thin metal sheets, providing a flush, closed-end profile on the head side after installation. The BSOA series features a 5M3 metric thread and is constructed from hardened stainless steel for use in stainless steel sheets up to HRB 88 / HB 183. Minimum hole size is 4.8 mm, with a minimum distance from the hole center to the sheet edge of 7.9 mm. The part is intended for applications requiring a non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant mounting solution, with optional nickel plating available for enhanced corrosion resistance. Standard length is 10 mm, with tolerance ±0.13 mm. Package style is self-clinching, installed via press fit into round holes as thin as 0.63 mm.
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
