FH-M4-18ZC is a flush-head self-clinching stud designed for installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.51 mm. It features high torque-out and pushout resistance, with a head that embeds flush into the sheet during installation. This part belongs to the FH series, which is suitable for sheets with hardness up to HRB 80 and HB 150, and is available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel materials. The stud installs permanently using a standard press and provides secure fastening in thin sheet materials.
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.
