A 12-page product bulletin covers application data, specifications and performance information for PEM self-clinching steel, stainless steel and aluminum nuts.

A 12-page product bulletin covers application data, specifications and performance information for PEM self-clinching steel, stainless steel and aluminum nuts On permanent installation in sheets as thin as 0.63mm, PEM self-clinching nuts provide reliable load-bearing threads and can reduce the amount of hardware required for an assembly

Bulletin CL profiles the entire line of PEM self-clinching nuts, which (after installation) require only a mating screw to complete final component attachment (no other parts need to be inventoried or handled).

PEM nuts offer high pushout and torque-out resistances and distortion-free installation.

All clinching during the installation process (using a Pemserter or other standard press) takes place on the fastener side of the sheet, so the reverse side of the sheet remains flush and smooth.

When installed, the nuts hold tight and will not fall out or loosen.

PEM self-clinching nuts are available in unified and metric thread sizes 2-56 through 1/2-20 and M2 through M10, depending on type.

A special family of PEM nuts has been designed for use in thin stainless sheets, which are also profiled in the bulletin.
