Self-Clinching & Weld Fasteners

Broaching Studs

Studs for PCBs and soft materials, tin-plated phosphor bronze.

Section: Self-clinching
Type: Studs & pins

Overview

Broaching studs install into printed circuit boards and other non-ductile materials by broaching (cutting) their own seat. Tin-plated phosphor bronze gives good conductivity and solderability.

Full dimensions, preferred lengths and installation / push-out / torque-out performance data are in the tables below, taken from the self-clinching fasteners catalogue.
