FASTENERS FOR USE IN STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS One of the very basics of self-clinching is that the fastener must always be harder than the host sheet to ensure proper and permanent installation. This is particularly challenging when installing fasteners into stainless steel sheets. Therefore we have developed this line of specially hardened stainless steel fasteners for installation into stainless steel. Refer to “Dos and Don’ts” on page 11 for further information. Fasteners made from precipitation hardened grade stainless and A286 stainless are particularly useful in applications such as...

FASTENERS FOR USE IN STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS TYPE SP™ PEM 300® SELF-CLINCHING NUTS • After installation, reverse side of sheet remains flush and smooth. • Corrosion resistance similar to 300 series stainless steel. PART NUMBER DESIGNATION (1) To minimize sheet distortion and maximize product performance, use a centerline-to-edge value greater or equal to the value specified. The increased hardness of stainless steel panels requires careful consideration when installing self-clinching fasteners. Refer to Dos and Don'ts on page 11 for further information.

INSTALLATION INTO STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS DOS AND DONTS DO select the proper fastener material to meet corrosion requirements. DO make certain that panel material is in the annealed condition. DO make certain that hole punch is kept sharp to minimize work hardening around hole. DO provide mounting hole of specified size for each fastener. DO maintain the hole punch diameter to no greater than +.0017.025mm over the minimum recommended mounting hole. DO make certain that fastener is properly positioned within hole before applying installation force. DO make certain that fastener is not...
