CLSS-024-1 - Self-Clinching Nut by PennEngineering ® (PEM ® )

The PEM® CLSS-024-1 is a high-performance self-clinching nut engineered to provide permanent, high-strength load-bearing threads in ultra-thin aluminum and steel sheets. Fabricated from premium 300 Series Stainless Steel, this unified-threaded fastener offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for consumer electronics, aerospace, and medical device enclosures. When pressed into a properly sized hole using standard parallel squeezing forces, the host sheet material cold-flows into the nut's precise undercut, delivering superior pushout and torque-out resistance without causing the thermal distortion, warping, or environmental safety issues common with welding.

High Pushout and Torque-Out Resistance integrates directly into sheet metal panels to securely withstand high levels of rotational torque and heavy axial pullout forces.

300 Series Stainless Steel Construction provides optimal material hardness combined with robust, long-lasting defense against localized environmental corrosion.

Passivated Quality Finish satisfies demanding manufacturing and engineering cleaning criteria to optimize overall component longevity.

No Tapping or Welding Required streamlines production lines by allowing standard pneumatic or hydraulic presses to seamlessly integrate the fastener into thin sheets.
