Locking and Non-locking Threads
These fasteners provide load-bearing threads in thin sheets and permit up to .030” adjustment for mating hole misalignment.

The self-clinching feature offers fast and simple assembly. The fasteners are squeezed into prepared holes using any standard press. The sheet remains flush on one side, and the fastener is permanently locked in place.

Extra strength and support in assembly is obtained by the threads of the floating nut extending fully into the retainermore
