Self Clinching Nut & Standoff for Meter Sheet Metal & PCB Mounting

Our self-clinching fasteners include clinch nuts, blind-hole clinch standoffs and clinch studs in standard specs M4, M6, M8 with various lengths. Made of carbon steel or stainless steel with nickel plated finish, these fasteners get permanently embedded into thin sheet metal via press clinching without welding or tapping. Widely applied on electric meter shell sheet, PCB board and internal component frame to provide stable internal thread for screw assembly, featuring high pull-out resistance and anti-rotation performance for long-term vibration-proof meter equipment connection.

Product Description

TNHO self-clinching nuts and self-clinching standoffs are professional cold-formed press-fit fasteners specially engineered for thin sheet metal, PCB and casing assembly of various electric meters, classified into three core product ranges: open-type self-clinching nut, blind-hole self-clinching standoff and self-clinching clinch stud. Mainstream standard dimensions cover M4×12, M6×4/M6, M8×6/M8 and customized sizes to satisfy different sheet thickness and layered spacing requirements of meter internal modules and metal housing.
Available raw materials include low carbon steel with bright nickel plating and 304 stainless steel with passivation finish. Nickel-plated carbon steel realizes cost-effective mass production with decent rust resistance for indoor meter cabinet, while stainless steel delivers outstanding anti-corrosion property for outdoor damp and corrosive working environments. All clinch fasteners are manufactured via precision cold forging, with serrated locking ring designed around outer diameter. During installation, external serrations sink into sheet metal under press force to form mechanical interlock, achieving permanent anti-loose, anti-spin and high pull-out load performance without pre-tapping internal threads on sheet.
Internal threads are precision tapped to match standard metric screws for stable component stacking and fastening. Products comply with international DIN and GB fastener specifications; apart from stocked regular sizes, we offer full OEM & ODM customization on thread size, body height, head shape and surface coating according to customers’ electric meter development drawings and prototype samples, serving as essential standard fasteners for global meter manufacturers’ automated production lines.

Features

1.Serrated outer locking ring clinch structure: Outer annular serrations embed into sheet metal after pressing to realize anti-rotation and high pull-out resistance for long-term stable connection.
2.No pre-tapping required for thin sheet mounting: Direct press-in installation saves sheet tapping procedure and simplifies processing flow for thin meter metal casing production.
3.Two premium material & surface finish options: Nickel-plated carbon steel for economical indoor assembly and stainless steel for moisture-resistant outdoor meter equipment usage.
4.Diversified product structure for multi-scenario use: Open nut, blind standoff and clinch stud separately fit thread fixing, layered spacing and positioning demands of meter PCB and shell.
5.Precision standardized internal metric thread design: Fine tapped inner thread matches regular standard screws to ensure smooth screwing and avoid thread slipping during repeated disassembly.

Advantages

Remarkably cut sheet metal pre-processing cost

Eliminate tapping and welding processes to reduce raw material waste and machining expense for meter casing manufacturers.

High vibration-resistant permanent fastening performance

Mechanical interlock between serration and sheet prevents fastener falling off under long-time operation vibration of electric meter equipment.

Simplified one-step press installation improves production efficiency

Quick press-fit mounting perfectly matches automated stamping lines to boost whole meter assembly throughput.

Flexible full customized service for unique meter design

Adjust body length, thread diameter and clinch structure strictly based on clients’ custom sheet thickness and layout drawings.

Spot inventory of mainstream M4/M6/M8 standard sizes

Ready stocked common specifications support fast sample dispatch and quick bulk order delivery for urgent production demand.

Wide compatibility with various meter shell materials

Workable on cold rolled steel, aluminum and stainless steel sheet commonly used for domestic and overseas electric meter housings.
