Product Description
The PennEngineering® (PEM®) CLS-M2.5-2 is a premium self-clinching nut engineered to provide permanent, load-bearing threads in thin sheet metal panels. Fabricated from high-quality 300 Series Stainless Steel, this precision fastener offers outstanding corrosion resistance and is perfectly optimized for demanding applications in automotive electronics, datacom equipment, and medical enclosures. When installed into a properly prepared metric hole using a parallel squeezing force, the host panel material cold flows into the nut's special undercut, anchoring it as an integral part of the sheet. Combined with a specialized serrated clinching ring, this design delivers exceptional pushout and torque-out resistance, preventing the hardware from spinning or loosening during final product assembly.
High Pushout and Torque-Out Resistance Ensures maximum joint integrity and holds tight under severe torque and axial load forces.
Serrated Clinching Ring Securely grips the host sheet material upon installation to completely stop fastener rotation.
300 Series Stainless Steel Material Delivers long-term protection against rust and corrosion, ideal for sensitive, non-magnetic, or cleanroom environments.
Undercut Panel Interlock Locks displaced host metal cleanly via standard parallel squeezing force to provide flat, weld-free component mating.
