FHP™ flush-head studs are self-clinching fasteners designed for permanent installation into stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.040" (1 mm), providing externally threaded attachment points. The FHP variant offers high corrosion resistance suitable for medical, food service, and marine applications. These studs are intended for use in stainless steel sheets with a hardness of HRB 92 or less. Installation requires a properly sized hole and a standard press, with the head embedding flush into the sheet. The part number FHP-832-24 corresponds to a #8-32 thread size with a length code of 24 (24/16 = 1.50 in), as specified in the series' dimensional table.
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
