SELF CLINCHING FASTENERS
Simply locate the fastener into a pre-prepared hole and apply a parallel squeezing force to embed the fastener into the panel. Self-Clinching fasteners work by utilizing a special clinch feature. When the part is pressed into the hole, the parent material cold-flows into the clinch feature, effectively locking the fastener into the panel, providing excellent torque-out and push-out performance
Self-Clinching fasteners require a parallel squeezing force to be applied for correct installation. Equally important is the length of time the force is applied. Sufficient time must be allowed for the cold-flow clinching process to work (this is often referred to as the dwell time when installing on a hydraulic press).
These nuts, studs, spacers, standoffs and other components are used worldwide by producers of Telecom, Computer, Medical, Automotive And Aerospace Systems etc.
