Self Clinching Fasteners
Fasteners which are usually threaded, that when pressed into ductile metal, displaces the host material around the mounting hole, causing it to cold flow into a specially designed annular recess in the shank or pilot of the fastener. A serrated clinching ring, knurl, ribs, or hex head prevents the fastener from rotating in the host material once it has been properly inserted. Thus, self-clinching fasteners become a permanent part of the panel, chassis, bracket, or other item into which they are installed.
Advantages:
• Provides strong threads in thin sheet metals
• Low installation costs
• Can be installed using parallel squeezing force
• No retapping required
• High pushout and torque resistance
• Reverse side of metal sheet remains flush
• No special hole preparation required
