PEM® self-clinching, flush-head studs with X-Press™ threads are typically usedwith push-on or other plastic fasteners. The coarse thread design of the threadreduces assembly time and provides high retention force.
These self-clinching studs are installed in metal sheets by pressingthem into place with any standard press. They can also be installed usingautomated equipment during the in-die process.
PEM® studs with X-Press™ threads are available with 5 mm and 6 mm metricthreads. Lengths range from 10 mm to 25 mm.

Features and Benefits
  • Offers fast, reliable attachment.
  • Reduces assembly time.
  • Allows for lighter assembly.
  • Self-clinching stud mounts flush inmetal sheets as thin as 1mm.
  • Thread design accommodates paintsand coatings without compromisingperformance.
  • Self-clinching technology is cleanerand has a more attractive finishedappearance than welding.
  • Can be installed during the stampingprocess with PEMSERTER® in-dietechnology.

    • 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”
