Thin Sheet Clinch Studs
TCH non-flush studs are manufactured for use in sheets as thin as .020 inches (.5 mm) thick. The pushout and torque-out values are excellent for most applications. The head of the stud will project above the panel surface when installed properly. Do not over squeeze!
Series TCH and TCHS Thin Sheet Clinch Studs are self-clinching fasteners engineered for permanent installation in sheet materials from 0.5mm thickness. Designed for thin-gauge steel and aluminium applications, they deliver high pushout resistance and secure stud retention without distorting delicate panels. Available in carbon steel and stainless steel variants, the range supports compact electronics, telecommunications equipment, instrumentation panels and lightweight industrial assemblies where conventional fasteners are unsuitable due to limited material thickness. Precision clinching design ensures reliable mechanical performance, repeatable installation and durable thread engagement in demanding enclosure applications.
