FHS-832-16 is a flush-head, self-clinching stud for installation in steel or aluminum sheets as thin as 0.51 mm, designed for sheets with a hardness of HRB 70 or less or HB 125 or less. It features a #8-32 thread and a clinching profile that embeds the head into the sheet, providing high torque-out and pushout resistance. The stud has a minimum hole diameter of 0.234 inches and requires a minimum distance of 0.183 inches from the edge of the sheet to the centerline. The head projects approximately 0.025 inches above the sheet surface. The part is manufactured in steel or stainless steel, and its dimensions and performance are consistent with the TFH/TFHS series of non-flush studs, but the FHS type requires lower material hardness than standard FH studs.
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.
