Product Description
Self-Clinching Nuts - Types SP, SMPP - Metric
Self-clinching nuts are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in sheets and applying a parallel squeezing force to the head of the nut. The sheet metal surrounding the head cold flows into an undercut thereby making the fastener an integral part of the sheet. A serrated clinching ring prevents the fastener from rotating after installation. Type S, SS, CLS, and CLSS nuts provide load-bearing threads in thin sheets with high pushout and torque-out resistance. Type SP, PEM 300 nuts provide strong load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .030.|Type SP, PEM 300 nuts provide strong load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .030&rdquo.Type SP is recommended for use in stainless steel sheets HRB (Rockwell "B" scale) 90 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 185 or less.
