PEM® FH, FHS, and FHA series flush-head self-clinching studs and pins are designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.020″ (0.51 mm). They install using standard press equipment, with the head embedding into the sheet to create a flush, high torque-out, and pushout-resistant assembly. FH is recommended for sheets with Rockwell B hardness up to 80 and Brinell hardness up to 150; FHS for hardness up to 70 and 125; FHA for aluminum sheets up to 50 and 82. Variants are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, and unthreaded versions can be ordered. All are manufactured to meet PEM® quality standards and require properly sized holes for installation.
PEM® self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets and squeezing into place with any standard press. The squeezing action embeds the head of the stud into the sheet. The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove – creating a flushhead assembly and securely locking the stud into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances.
FH (flush-head) studs are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel . They are also available unthreaded on special order.
