Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This thin hex panel nut solves critical space constraints in panel mounting applications where standard nuts would protrude excessively. The black-oxide steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for electrical enclosures, control panels, and machinery guards exposed to moisture or industrial atmospheres. Its NPSM 3/8" thread specification ensures proper sealing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems, preventing leaks in pressure applications. The external hex drive allows for high-torque installation without stripping, while the reduced profile maintains structural integrity in thin-sheet metal assemblies. Engineered for repetitive installation cycles, this component delivers reliable performance in manufacturing, automotive, and industrial equipment where consistent panel nut performance is critical to operational safety.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with 13/16" width and 17/64" height thin profile. Features NPSM 3/8" right-hand threads conforming to standard pipe thread specifications. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) under exemption 6(a) for lead as steel alloying element and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations updated to 233 SVHC as of January 2023. The black-oxide surface treatment provides consistent corrosion protection while maintaining dimensional accuracy for reliable thread engagement.
