FHA-173-20 is a flush-head self-clinching pin in the FHA series, designed for installation in aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or less and HB 82 or less. It has a pin diameter of 0.173 inch and a length code of 20, corresponding to 1.25 inches. The pin is recommended for use in sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.040 inch and requires a minimum centerline-to-edge distance of 0.28 inch. It installs flush with the sheet surface and is available on special order.
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.
