BSOA blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting into sheet metal with a flush, closed-end profile on the head side. These standoffs are installed in holes with a minimum diameter of 0.050 inches and require a minimum edge distance of 0.31 inches. The BSOA series is recommended for use in aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less and Brinell hardness of 82 or less. A thicker wall construction is provided for thread code 8632 to enhance bearing surface and reduce the risk of damage to mating panels. All dimensions are in inches, and the part supports a 1/4-20 thread size with a nominal length of 0.312 inches.
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
