TP4™ flush-head pins are self-clinching unthreaded fasteners for permanent installation into stainless steel sheets as thin as .040"/1mm, satisfying positioning, pivot, and alignment applications. The pin has a chamfered end for easy mating hole location and is designed for use in stainless steel sheets with hardness up to HRB 92 / HB 202. The part TP4-187-8 corresponds to a pin with a diameter of .187" and a length of .187" (3mm), installed in sheets with a minimum hole size of .205" and a minimum edge distance of .090". The clinching profile may vary by series variant.
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.
FTPS, TP4 Pilot Pins satisfy a wide range of positioning, pivot, and alignment applications. The chamfered end makes mating hole location easy
