CLS-0524-3 is a self-clinching nut designed for installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets, providing high pushout and torque-out resistance. It features a serrated clinching ring to prevent rotation and is installed by applying parallel pressure to form an integral bond with the sheet. The part is dimensionally equivalent to NASM45938/1 specifications and is rated for use in 5052-H34 aluminum with an installation force of 285 lbf, a pushout resistance of 45 lbf, and a torque-out resistance of 2.37 in.-lbf. The nut has a M5 thread and a shank diameter appropriate for use in sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.025 in. (0.64 mm).
Type S, SS, CLS, and CLSS nuts provide load-bearing threads in thin sheets with high pushout and torque-out resistance.
Type SP, PEM 300® nuts provide strong load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .030”.
Types S and SS are recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 80 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 150 or less.
