FHS-032-16 is a flush-head self-clinching stud from the FHS series designed for installation in steel or aluminum sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 70 or HB 125 and a minimum thickness of 0.020 in (0.51 mm). The stud features a #10-32 thread and projects a head above the sheet surface by 0.025 in (0.64 mm) to ensure secure clinching. It is installed using standard pressing equipment, with the head deforming to lock the stud permanently in place, providing high torque-out and pushout resistance. The part is compatible with panels where the centerline-to-edge distance is at least 0.209 in and the minimum hole size is 0.250 in. The stud is available in steel or stainless steel materials and designed for applications requiring a flush head with high mechanical integrity.
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.
