TSO-series self-clinching threaded standoffs install permanently in sheets as thin as 0.63 mm (0.025 inch) and provide internal threads for mounting. The TSO-440 variant has a 0.040 inch (1.02 mm) minimum hole size, a 0.187 inch (4.75 mm) minimum distance to edge, and a 0.562 inch (14.27 mm) length, with a 1/4-20 UNC thread. It is designed for use in materials with Rockwell B hardness 80 or less, such as carbon steel or aluminum, but not stainless steel. The part features a standard head design and is not intended for close-to-edge applications. Higher-strength variants like TSO4 are required for stainless steel installations.
These standoffs, which use the proven self-clinching design, install with a squeeze in properly sized round holes - and become permanently mounted in the thin sheet.
Types TSO, TSOS, and TSOA self-clinching threaded standoffs provide permanent threads in sheets as thin as .025”.
