PEM® FH-series self-clinching pins are designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.020 inch (0.51 mm), with high torque-out and pushout resistance. They feature a flush head and are installed using a standard press, causing the sheet material to flow around the head's ribs and into an annular groove, securing the pin without requiring additional fasteners. These pins are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel and are suitable for sheets with hardness up to HRB 80 and HB 150, depending on the variant. The FH series includes unthreaded pins available on special order, with installation optimized for low-positioning applications and edge proximity where space is limited. Slight visual variations in appearance do not affect performance.
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.
