Technical diagram of a clinch nut with two views: Left (Plan View: Top-down view showing a circular nut with a serrated/knurled clinching profile. E: Overall diameter. Right (Section View: Side cross-section showing internal threading and profile. C: Diameter of the clinching feature. A: Depth of the clinching pilot. T: Thickness of the nut body. Note: "(Clinching profile may vary" indicating potential manufacturing differences.

Drawing callouts: E, C, A, T. (Clinching profile may vary) Due to manufacturing procedure, parts may have a counterbore at shank end.

Unified — all dimensions are in inches.

(1) For maximum performance, we recommend that you use the maximum shank length for your sheet thickness.

(2) This shank code not available for SP nuts.

(3) This thread size S nut, with a -2 shank code, can be installed successfully without the need to pre punch a mounting hole in a separate operation. See page 42 for more information.

The increased hardness of stainless steel panels requires careful consideration when installing self-clinching fasteners. See page 39 or refer to Fastener Installation Dos and Don'ts on our website.

Metric — (see drawing at top of page 28) all dimensions are in millimeters.
