Hi-Tech Fasteners, Inc. - Flush-Head Studs with X-Press™ Thread Profile – Type FHX

PEM® self-clinching, flush-head studs with X-Press™ threads are typically used with push-on or other plastic fasteners. The coarse thread design of the thread reduces assembly time and provides high retention force.
These self-clinching studs are installed in metal sheets by pressing them into place with any standard press. They can also be installed using automated equipment during the in-die process.
PEM® studs with X-Press™ threads are available with 5 mm and 6 mm metric threads. Lengths rangemore

¹ The “L” dimension is the height of the installed stud at max grip. The height of the stud will increase if it is installed into thinner material. To calculate “actual L” use this formula: max grip - actual grip + L = “actual L” ² To minimize sheet distortion and maximize product performance, use a centerline-to-edge value greater or equal to the value specified. ³ “BL” suffix will be added to part number to designate DuraBlack™ finish.
