PEM® self-clinching, flush-head studs with X-Press™ threads are typically used with push-on or other plastic fasteners. The coarse thread design of the thread reduces assembly time and provides high retention force.
These self-clinching studs are installed in metal sheets by pressing them into place with any standard press. They can also be installed using automated equipment during the in-die process.
PEM® studs with X-Press™ threads are available with 5 mm and 6 mm metric threads. Lengths range from 10 mm to 25 mm.
