Self Clinching Fasteners

Clinch Nuts

Clinch nuts, or press-in nuts, are internally threaded self-clinching fasteners engineered to create permanent, reusable attachment points in thin-gauge sheet metal. When pressed into a pre-sized hole, their serrated or knurled under-head features bite into the host material to provide superior torsional resistance, while the cold-flowing metal locks the nut against axial push-out forces. By eliminating the need for secondary tapping or welding operations, these fasteners streamline the assembly of telecommunications enclosures, automotive interior structural panels, and HVAC housings.
