Blind-threaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting into thin metal sheets with a flush, closed-end profile on the head side. The BSOA series, including the BSOA-M4-10 variant, features a metric M4 thread and is constructed of hardened stainless steel for installation into stainless steel sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 88 or less. The part installs into holes with a minimum diameter of 4.8 mm and requires a minimum distance of 7.9 mm from the hole center to the sheet edge. The design allows for secure clinching into sheets as thin as 0.63 mm and provides superior corrosion resistance without plating; optional nickel plating is available for enhanced environmental protection.
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.
