Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and installation guidelines for the N7 Captive Nut, suitable for use in materials with hardness RB85 or less, such as low carbon steels, annealed stainless steels, and aluminum. It includes both thru hole and blind styles.
Specifications:
  • Material: Knob made of natural aluminum; Ferrule of hardened steel with zinc plating, chromate, and sealer; Spring of 302 stainless steel, passivated.
  • Features: Spring ejected, knurled knob for grip, fastens to externally threaded studs, aids in quick panel replacement.
  • Dimensions: Provided for various thread sizes (M3, M4, M5, M6, 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-32, 1/4-20) with specific measurements for thru hole and blind hole versions.
Installation Notes:
  • Prepare the hole in the panel as specified, ensuring a solid back-up surface behind the panel.
  • Press the assembly into the panel until only the top of the knurl on the ferrule is visible.
  • For blind hole applications, calculate the threadstud insert length based on frame and panel thickness.
Installation Guidelines:
  • Material: Ensure panel material hardness does not exceed recommendations.
  • Installation Holes: Holes can be drilled, punched, or cast. The edge must be sharp without chamfering or deburring.
  • Panel Thickness: Must meet or exceed minimum recommendations to avoid deformation.
  • Installation Force: Use even distribution of force with a parallel-acting press; avoid using a hammer.
  • Timing: Install after plating or finishing, ensuring hole diameter meets specifications before these processes.
Critical Parameters:
  • Minimum distance from panel edge to hole centerline: 1.5 x Ø H.
  • Panel thickness and hole diameter must adhere to specified tolerances to ensure proper installation and retention strength.
