Specifications for blind fasteners reviewed
Self-clinching blind fasteners, designed to provide barriers that protect threads against foreign matter and protect circuits from intrusion of extra-long screws, are described in a new leaflet
The updated "Bulletin B" reviews specifications, performance data, and the installation procedure for these blind-type fasteners, which employ the unique self-clinching design enabling their permanent installation in thin metal sheets.
The fasteners act as their own pilot and, being round, do not require indexing.
These steel (Type B) and stainless steel (Type BS) fasteners can provide permanently mounted blind threads in metal sheets as thin as 1mm and are available in thread sizes 4-40 through 1/4-20 and M3 through M6.
Blind fasteners in each thread size are offered in two different shank lengths to meet the specifications of those design engineers who want panel holes refilled as much as possible.
