FH-M8-18ZC is a self-clinching threaded stud of the FH series, designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.51 mm. The stud installs with standard press tools, embedding its flush head into the sheet to achieve high torque-out and pushout resistance. FH-series studs are suitable for materials with hardness up to HRB 80 and HB 150. The part is available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, with a flush-head profile that remains level with the sheet surface after installation. Other features such as thread profile, head dimensions, and material finish are consistent across the FH/FHS/FHA series.
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.
