Self Clinching Fasteners

Press Nuts (Broaching Nuts)

Press nuts, specifically broaching nuts, are specialized mechanical fasteners designed to provide robust threaded inserts for non-ductile or brittle materials such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), fiberglass, and hard plastics. Rather than relying on cold flow, these fasteners feature an axially knurled shank that physically cuts or "broaches" into the host material during press installation, creating a tight interference fit with excellent rotational and pull-out resistance. Typically manufactured from stainless or tin-plated steel, they offer a permanent, heat-free fastening solution that is indispensable in electronic component mounting and specialized telecom rack assembly.
