Substitute the length of stud required for the ?? in the part no. and the finish code for the ?? following the part no. to specify the exact part required. These fasteners are available in Carbon Steel Heat treated and Plated Zinc and Clear passivated, Code 60, or in Stainless Steel, Code SS. Code 60 products are for use in sheets of Rockwell Hardness of B - 85 max. Code SS is for use in sheets of Rockwell Hardness of B - 70 max. CS Clinch Studs are a fast reliable method of providing captive male thread forms in thin sheet metal sections. Their ease of use makes them the preferred fastening method for all sheet metal work used in the computer, electronics, electrical and telecommunications industries. A simple squeezing action with a press and bottom die installs the fasteners into the sheet where they are retained due to the coining groove being filled with material during installation. The stud has advantages over the nut in that they provide locations upon which components can be hung during assembly, improving production times.
