Self-Clinching & Weld Fasteners

High Strength Studs for Thin Sheets

High-strength studs designed for thin sheet metal.

Section: Self-clinching
Type: Studs & pins

Overview

These high strength studs combine high push-out and torque-out with a design for thin sheet, where a standard high strength stud would not fit.

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