PEM® self-clinching studs, made of heat-treated carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, offer reliable fastening solutions for a variety of applications. These non-flush studs, specifically Types TFH and TFHS in the Unified thread size 6-32, are designed for easy installation in thin sheets as thin as .020 inches. Utilizing a standard press, these studs are securely locked into place, providing high torque-out and pushout resistances. While TFH studs may not sit flush with the sheet surface, they offer durability and strength, making them suitable for use in steel or aluminum sheets with specific hardness requirements. Type TFHS, on the other hand, is recommended for even softer materials. With their precision engineering and robust construction, PEM® self-clinching studs are an essential component for efficient and secure fastening in industrial settings.
