Pem brand fasteners utilize self clinching broaching flaring surface mount or weld technology to provide strong reusable and permanent threads and mounting points in thin sheet metal p c. Zinc plated steel screw anchors hollow wall anchors for use in thin sectioned materials.

Available in short and long grip versions. Sheet metal fiberglass plastics composites etc. Where one surface is inaccessible. Our miniature brass inserts and miniature sheet metal fasteners are designed for mobile handset applications.

Board materials and other ductile or non ductile thin material. This squeezing process results in the cold flow of the sheet metal which is displaced by the nut s knurl. Press fit nuts for sheet metal. Threads come in left or right hand versions and can be designated united fine thread unf or united coarse thread unc type.

They come in various lengths and wall thicknesses. Closed end flanged barbed inserts for softwood. Threaded inserts are made of carbon steel stainless steel brass or zinc. The head and collapsible legs form a load bearing surface on both sides of the material.

Insertion into holes in sheet metal is accomplished via application of a steady squeezing force. An open end allows long screws and bolts to pass through the insert. Rivet nuts aid with installation of threaded rod inserts such as bolts and rods that require strength reinforcement in surfaces that cannot support a tapped hole including some extrusions tubing or sheet metal. These metric nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

A closed end seals out elements and protects the threads on these inserts from debris. When properly inserted the knurl prevents torque out during the tightening of the mated part. Threaded inserts are used to repair stripped threads in plugs and other parts or to create a new threads in a hole for fastening applications. They can have a knurled outer surface for gripping and may be flanged.

Threaded inserts self clinching captive fasteners captive self clinching fasteners are designed to be installed in sheet metal and pc boards.
