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”. Type SP is recommended for use in stainless steel sheets HRB (Rockwell "B" scale) 90 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 185 or less.
