Self-Clinching Nut Unicorp Round Head 0.187in Diameter for

Description

Product Overview

The Unicorp self‑clinching nut is engineered for precision and durability in industrial assemblies. Featuring a round head, a body diameter of 0.187 in, and a mounting hole of 0.1875 in, it securely locks into panels as thin as 0.040 in. Constructed from high‑strength steel, the nut resists corrosion and maintains its grip under vibration and load. Its compact design ensures a low profile while delivering a robust, permanent connection without the need for additional tools.

Usage

Designed for use in electronics enclosures, control panels, and scientific equipment, this nut excels in environments where space is limited and reliability is critical. Installers appreciate the quick, tool‑free application, which reduces assembly time on production lines. Ideal for manufacturers, engineers, and maintenance technicians who require consistent fastening performance on thin metal substrates.

FAQ

Can this nut be used on panels thicker than 0.040 in?

While the nut is optimized for 0.040 in thickness, it can be used on panels up to 0.060 in with a slightly reduced clinching force. For thicker materials, consider a larger self‑clinching nut model.

Is the nut compatible with stainless steel panels?

Yes, the nut’s steel composition provides good compatibility with stainless steel panels, though a pre‑drilled hole with proper clearance is recommended to ensure optimal clinching.

What is the recommended torque for the mounting screw?

Since the nut is self‑clinching, no torque is required for the nut itself. The mounting screw should be tightened to the manufacturer’s standard torque for the specific screw size, typically between 5‑7 in‑lb for #4‑#6 screws.

How does the self‑clinching mechanism work?

n

The nut’s flange is pressed into the panel, causing the material to flow into the nut’s internal teeth. This creates a mechanical interlock that holds the nut permanently without adhesives or additional fasteners.

Is there a warranty on this product?

Unicorp offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and manufacturing errors, ensuring you receive a reliable fastening solution.
