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.
