About Self Clinching Plunger Assemblies

Self Clinching Plunger Assemblies provide a captivated spring loaded plunger for use in thin sheet metal applications where a positioning or locking pin is required.

 

They reduce loose components and so reduce the risk of loose hardware being lost or falling out and damaging internal components.

 

Actuation is by hand - simply pull up and twist the head to lock in the retracted postion. Turn the head the opposite way to release and the plunger springs back into place.

 

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

 

Available in Steel and Stainless Steel. Also available without the locking feature (specify type NSL2) to special order.

 

Please check for availability before specifying.
