PART NUMBER DESIGNATION PART NUMBER DESIGNATION Notes: The diagram illustrates the breakdown of part numbers using two examples: 'H - 0616 ZI' and 'H N L - 0616 LZ'. Each segment of the part number is mapped to a specific descriptive label via arrows.The image displays technical diagrams for two types of self-clinching nuts, highlighting their dimensions: Type H: E: Overall diameter. C: Shank diameter. A: Shank length/height. T₁: Body thickness. Type HNL: E: Overall diameter. C: Shank diameter. A: Shank length/height. T₂: Body thickness (design includes a distinct flange or locking feature compared to Type H. Common Features: Both types feature a knurled clinching ring for securing into thin metal sheets. Internal threading for screw attachment. "Clinching profile may vary" based on the provided context.

Drawing callouts: Type H — E, C, A, T1; Type HNL — E, C, A, T2. Clinching profile may vary.

Unified — all dimensions are in inches.

(1) During installation, the projections on the heads of HNL self-locking nuts may be flattened. This is not detrimental in any way and will not affect self-locking or self-clinching performance.
