These brass self-clinching nuts are precision fasteners designed for permanent installation into thin sheets of metal. The press-in rivet nut design creates a strong, threaded insert that is flush on both sides, ideal for machine tools, electronics, and applications requiring a reliable, conductive connection. Features and Benefits
- Brass construction - Offers good corrosion resistance, excellent electrical conductivity, and is non-magnetic, making it suitable for sensitive electronic assemblies.
- Self-clinching/press-in design - Installs quickly with a press or hammer, deforming to lock securely into a pre-drilled hole without requiring access to the backside.
- Flush installation on both sides - Provides a smooth, professional finish without protrusions, essential for internal assemblies and moving parts.
- Knurled shank and undercut - Prevents rotation and pull-out under torque, ensuring a permanent and reliable threaded anchor in sheet metal. Applications
- Creating durable threaded mounting points in electrical enclosures and control panels.
- Assembling precision machinery, tooling fixtures, and automotive components where space is limited.
- Fastening components in telecommunications equipment, computer chassis, and other electronic devices.
