Product Description
The BSOA-440-12 is a self-clinching blind threaded standoff manufactured from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum and designed for permanent installation into aluminum sheets. This fastener utilizes a proven self-clinching design to become an integral part of the assembly, providing excellent pushout and torque-out resistance. The blind-thread (closed-end) design is a vital feature, ensuring the outer sheet surface remains flush and closed, maintaining a clean aesthetic while effectively sealing the assembly against the ingress of dust, moisture, and other environmental contaminants. It is an ideal solution for lightweight applications requiring precise spacing and secure internal mounting.
Aluminum Construction: Lightweight material choice optimized for installation into aluminum panels with a maximum hardness of HRB 50.
Environmental Sealing: The closed-end (blind) design prevents external debris and moisture from passing through the mounting hole.
Permanent Attachment: Clinches securely into the host sheet, eliminating the need for additional hardware or secondary operations.
Flush Exterior: Maintains a smooth, unmarred professional appearance on the reverse side of the panel.
Precision Spacing: Provides a reliable 3/8" standoff height for consistent clearance between components and boards.
