Product Description
The BSO-440-24ZI is a self-clinching blind threaded standoff designed for permanent installation in thin metal sheets. By utilizing a proven self-clinching design, this fastener is installed by pressing it into a round hole using a standard squeeze action, which causes the sheet material to cold-flow into the pilot. The blind-thread feature is a vital attribute, ensuring that the outer sheet surface remains flush and closed, providing a clean, unmarred appearance while effectively sealing the assembly against environmental contaminants. Manufactured from heat-treated carbon steel with a zinc finish, it is ideal for applications requiring specific spacing and secure component mounting in metal chassis.
Sealed Barrier: The blind (closed-end) thread prevents the ingress of debris, dust, or moisture through the fastener.
Permanent Attachment: Becomes an integral part of the metal sheet once installed, offering high pushout and torque-out resistance.
Flush Finish: Ensures a smooth, professional exterior appearance on the mounting side of the assembly.
Hardware Efficiency: Eliminates the need for secondary operations like tapping or welding and reduces the count of loose hardware.
Precision Spacing: Provides a reliable .750 in standoff height for consistent internal component clearance.
