A 12-page product bulletin covers types, specifications, and performance data the self-clinching fastener family of PEM steel, stainless steel and aluminium nuts.

A 12-page product bulletin covers types, specifications, and performance data the self-clinching fastener family of PEM steel, stainless steel and aluminium nuts.

When installed in metal sheets as thin as 0.63mm, PEM self-clinching nuts provide permanent and reliable load-bearing threads.

Their use for component attachment can reduce the amount and types of required hardware in an application.

"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 press or other standard method) 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 to 1/2-20 and M2 to 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.
