Part # BSO-440-18ZI, Blind Threaded Standoffs - Types BSO, BSOA, BSOS

These standoffs, which use the proven self-clinching design, install with a squeeze in properly sized round holes - and become permanently mounted in the thin sheet.

When blind-threaded types are used, outer sheet surfaces are not only flush, but closed as well.

If you require a standoff which we do not offer in this bulletin, please contact us. We will be happy to work with you to satisfy your special need.

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 HRB - Hardness Rockwell “B” Scale. HB - Hardness Brinell.
