Product Description
The BSO-632-16ZI is a self-clinching blind threaded standoff designed for permanent installation in thin metal sheets. Utilizing a proven clinching profile, the fastener is installed by pressing it into a round hole using a standard squeeze action. The blind-thread (closed-end) design is a critical feature, 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 thread prevents the ingress of dust, moisture, or debris through the chassis wall.
Permanent Attachment: The self-clinching design provides high pushout and torque-out resistance once installed in the metal sheet.
Flush Finish: Keeps the exterior panel surface smooth and unmarred for high-end aesthetic requirements.
Streamlined Assembly: Eliminates the need for secondary operations like tapping or welding and reduces the total count of loose hardware.
Extended Spacing: Provides a precise .500 in standoff height for consistent internal component clearance.
