FHP™ flush-head studs are self-clinching fasteners for installation into stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.040 in (1 mm), providing permanent threaded attachment points. Designed for use in stainless steel with a hardness of HRB 92 or less, Type FHP variants offer high corrosion resistance suitable for medical, food service, and marine applications. The stud has an unthreaded shank length of 0.750 in and a maximum sheet thickness capacity of 0.095 in. Installation requires a recommended hole size of 0.176 in and a minimum edge distance of 0.281 in. The part bears the PEM® Dimple trademark. All dimensions are in inches.
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.
FH4 & FHP (flush-head) Studs for Stainless Steel are designed to provide strong threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .040” . Type FHP studs have high corrosion resistance. Both types are designed for use in stainless steel sheets with a hardness of 92 or less on the Rockwell “B” scale
