About Self Clinching
Floating Nuts

Floating Self Clinching Nuts provide a strong reusable female thread in panels that are too thin to be conventionally tapped. The floating action of this fastener allows for up to 0.8mm adjustment for mating hole misalignment.

 

Utilising a special proven clinch feature, they have excellent torque out and push out characteristics whilst installing flush on the underside of the panel.

 

Like all self clinching fasteners they are installed using a parallel squeezing action so require access to both sides of the panel.

 

Available in Locking and Non-Locking variant in both Steel and Stainless Steel in thread sizes M3 - M5.
