Product Description
The BSO-440-34ZI 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 Exterior: The blind (closed-end) thread ensures the reverse side of the panel remains flush and closed to prevent the entry of dust or moisture.
High Pushout Resistance: The self-clinching design becomes an integral part of the metal sheet, offering high resistance to mechanical stress.
Flush Finish: Maintains a smooth, professional exterior appearance on the mounting side of the assembly.
Hardware Efficiency: Reduces the need for secondary operations like tapping or welding and eliminates loose hardware like nuts or washers.
Extended Spacing: Provides a precise 1.062 in standoff height for consistent internal component clearance.
