The CLS-256-2 self-clinching nut from PennEngineering® is designed for installation in thin sheets of steel or aluminum. It provides load-bearing threads with high resistance to pushout and torque-out, making it suitable for applications requiring durable fastening solutions. The installation process involves placing the nut in a properly sized hole and applying a parallel squeezing force, which allows the surrounding sheet metal to flow into an undercut, securing the nut in place. The serrated clinching ring further enhances the nut's stability by preventing rotation after installation. This product is ideal for engineers looking for reliable fastening options in thin materials.
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.
