TSO threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for installation into sheets as thin as 0.63 mm, providing permanent internal threads. These standoffs feature a low-profile head and are suitable for applications requiring minimal edge distance. The part series supports metric threads including M3, with standard lengths and dimensional tolerances specified for proper clinching. The TSO family is constructed from hardened stainless steel and is intended for use in materials with hardness up to HRB 88 or HB 183, as specified for stainless steel sheets. Installation requires a properly sized through-hole and controlled pressing force to ensure secure permanent mounting.
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 0.63 mm.
