Product Description
The CLS-632-1 is a high-quality self-clinching nut manufactured by PennEngineering® (PEM®). Designed to provide permanent, load-bearing threads in thin sheet metal panels, it installs seamlessly using a standard parallel squeezing force. During the installation cycle, the host metal cold flows directly into an undercut beneath the head, embedding the fastener securely into the panel to become an inseparable part of the assembly. Fabricated from premium 300 Series Stainless Steel, it delivers long-term corrosion resistance and high pushout and torque-out resistance, ensuring structural joint integrity in crowded electronic enclosures and heavy-duty industrial assemblies.
Permanent Clinching Hold: Integrates completely into thin sheet metal panels using simple pressing action, eliminating loose hardware risks and welding requirements.
High Torque and Pushout Limits: Establishes a rugged mechanical bond that safely withstands substantial rotational and tensile forces without backing out.
Stainless Steel Construction:Manufactured from high-grade 300 Series Stainless Steel to provide excellent corrosion resistance and clean application performance.
Substantial Load Capacity: Supplies heavy-duty internal threading within thin-gauge materials, maximizing space utilization while securely mounting components.
