FHP™ flush-head studs are self-clinching fasteners designed for installation into stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.040″ (1 mm) with a hardness of HRB 92 or less. Type FHP studs offer high corrosion resistance, making them suitable for medical, food service, and marine applications. The FHP-632-14 variant has a thread size of #6-32 and a stud length code of 14, corresponding to 7/8 inch (0.875″), and is rated for sheet thicknesses up to 0.095″. Installation requires a recommended hole size of 0.176″ with a minimum distance of 0.250″ to the hole centerline. The reverse side of the sheet remains flush after installation.
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
