Brochure covers self-clinching nuts

A 12-page product bulletin covers types, specifications and performance data for the fastener family of PEM self-clinching steel, stainless steel and aluminum nuts. All PEM nuts are RoHS compliant. When installed in metal sheets as thin as 0.63mm, PEM nuts provide permanent and reliable load-bearing threads. With only a mating screw to complete final component attachment, users can reduce the amount and types of hardware required in an application. Bulletin CL profiles the entire line of PEM self-clinching nuts, which provide high pushout and torque-out resistances and distortion-free installation. They are available in thread sizes #2-56 to 1/2-20 and M2 to M10, depending on type. The family includes specialised hardware to satisfy specific application requirements. These include: special alloy stainless steel nuts with high hardness and high corrosion-resistance for use in thin stainless sheets; reduced-size nuts for tight, close-to-edge applications; and nuts with locking threads. All clinching during the installation process occurs on the fastener side of the sheet, allowing the reverse side to remain flush and smooth. Using a Pemserter press, the nuts are placed in punched or drilled holes and then squeezed with sufficient force. Upon installation, the fasteners will not loosen or fall out.
