How to Install Self-Clinching Hex Nuts
Self-clinching kal nuts are explicitly designed to provide easy installation. The self-clinching hex nut is placed in the prescribed hole in the mating panel and pressed into the sheet, becoming an integral part of the chassis. This process eliminates loose hardware, which is especially important in electronic applications. The ductile panel material flows around the clinch profile and forms a strong permanent bond in the assembly. Our self-clinching hex nuts are harder than the metal substrate, so they maintain dimensional integrity and physical properties.
