TFHS non-flush self-clinching studs are designed for installation in aluminum or steel sheets as thin as 0.51 mm, with the head projecting approximately 0.64 mm above the sheet surface. They are recommended for use in sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 70 or less and a Brinell hardness of 125 or less. The stud features a metric M3 x 0.5 thread and a dimpled head for identification. The minimum hole size for installation is 3 mm, and the maximum hole size is 4.5 mm. The minimum distance from the centerline to the panel edge is 3.3 mm. The stud is available in steel or stainless steel materials.
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.
TFH (non-flush) Studs are for sheets as thin as 0.51mm. They may also be used in thicker sheets where flush head studs are not required. TFH studs are installed in the sheets in the same manner as flush-head studs; however, different punches and anvils are required. When installed, the TFH stud will be securely locked into the thin sheet with ample torque-out and pushout resistances. The stud head will not be flush but will project above the sheet surface approximately 0.64mm.
