CSOS-M6-8 is a concealed-head self-clinching stainless steel standoff designed for permanent installation in steel or aluminum sheets as thin as 1.6 mm. It features a metric M6 x 1 thread and is recommended for use in materials with hardness up to HRB 70 / HB 125. Installation requires a blind hole with a minimum diameter of 9.9 mm and a minimum depth of 8 mm, with the flange seating flush to the sheet surface. The standoff's design ensures the opposite side of the sheet remains smooth and sealed, supporting ingress protection requirements. Standard installation uses a PEM® SERTER® or HAEGER® press with specified tooling, and no additional machining is needed beyond the prescribed hole dimensions.
These standoffs ensure permanent mounting in metal sheets as thin as 1.60mm.
The fastener head is locked securely in a blind, milled hole and is able to handle substantial loads. The concealed-head feature allows the side of the sheet opposite installation to remain smooth.
Sheet preparation only requires a milled blind hole to the recommended minimum depth. Center-cutting end mills for hole preparation are available from PennEngineering. Installation of the concealed-head studs and standoffs is simple using a hollow anvil and solid punch. Place the head of the fastener in the hole and insert using any standard press. Displaced sheet metal flows smoothly around the head into the undercut.
