Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs, designed for permanent installation in metal sheets with a flush, closed-end profile, are available in a series including BSOA variants. These standoffs feature a thicker wall to provide increased bearing surface, reducing the risk of cracking or cutting into the mounting panel. They are suitable for use in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 70 or less or Brinell hardness of 125 or less. The BSOA-8632-26 part belongs to a series where the thread is 1/4-20 with nominal length of 0.812 inches (20.6 mm). Installation requires a minimum hole size of 0.050 inches and a minimum distance to sheet edge of 0.31 inches. The product is not designed for stainless steel sheet installation unless specified otherwise, and this variant does not include grounding features or optional nickel plating.
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
