CSS-832-16 is a concealed-head self-clinching standoff designed for permanent installation in cold-rolled steel or 5052-H34 aluminum sheets as thin as 0.062 in. The standoff installs using standard press tools into a blind hole and leaves the opposite side smooth and unmarred. It supports a maximum tightening torque of 18 in-lb in steel and 4,000 lb pull-out force in steel, with a minimum sheet thickness of 0.062 in. and recommended hole diameter of 0.290 in. The part meets the PEM® concealed-head fastener series design standards, with flange flushness required after installation.
These standoffs ensure permanent mounting in metal sheets as thin as .062 in.
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.
