BSOA blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting into metal sheets with a closed-end barrel for flush, non-through installation. The BSOA series is made from hardened stainless steel and is recommended for use in aluminum sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 50 or HB 82. The part BSOA-3-5M3-8 features a 3.5M3 thread size and a length of 8 mm, with a minimum hole size of 4.22 mm and minimum edge distance of 4.8 mm, ensuring reliable clinching into thin aluminum panels. It provides a permanently installed, threaded standoff without requiring access to the back side of the sheet.
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
