FHA-173-6 is a flush-head self-clinching pin designed for installation in aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or less and HB 82 or less, requiring a minimum sheet thickness of 0.040 in. The pin has a nominal diameter of 0.173 in. and a length of 0.26 in., with a minimum hole size of 0.190 in. and a minimum centerline-to-edge distance of 0.28 in. It is installed permanently by pressing into a properly sized hole, displacing sheet material to form a secure, flush assembly with high torque-out and pushout resistance. The pin is available on special order and is part of the FHA series intended for low-hardness aluminum sheets.
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.
