CLA-024-2 is a self-clinching nut designed for installation in aluminum sheets, featuring a #10-24 thread and providing high pushout and torque-out resistance. It has a shank length code of 2, compatible with sheet thicknesses up to 0.125 in. The nut installs in a 0.190 in. hole with a minimum edge distance of 0.31 in. and a centerline-to-edge spacing of 0.31 in. A serrated clinching ring prevents rotation after installation. This part is made from aluminum and is suitable for use in sheets with hardness up to HRB 50.
Self-clinching nuts are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in sheets and applying a parallel squeezing force to the head of the nut. The sheet metal surrounding the head cold flows into an undercut thereby making the fastener an integral part of the sheet. A serrated clinching ring prevents the fastener from rotating after installation.
Type CLA aluminum nuts are recommended for use in aluminum sheet with a hardness of HRB 50 or less on the Rockwell “B” scale.
Unplated threads are sized to accept a basic go gauge after .00025” plating.
