S-96439A800 3/8"-16 Press-Fit Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant performance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Secure, permanent installation through press-fit design, eliminating the need for welding or adhesives
• Reliable thread engagement with Class 2B fit and UNC coarse threads for vibration resistance and easy assembly
• Optimized for thin panels with a round head design requiring only 0.09" minimum material thickness
• Streamlined installation process using a standard 1/2" drill bit, reducing assembly time and tooling costs
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 standards for use in regulated electronics and enclosures
• Right-hand thread orientation for standard tooling and intuitive installation in high-volume production

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 3/8"-16 UNC press-fit nut delivers robust fastening for electrical enclosures, control panels, and industrial machinery where corrosion resistance and panel integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material prevents rust in humid or chemical-exposed settings, while the round head press-fit design ensures a flush, permanent installation without damaging thin sheet metal. With coarse threading and Class 2B thread fit, it maintains holding strength under vibration, reducing maintenance needs in panel fastener applications. Engineered for a 0.5" drill bit, it simplifies prototyping and mass production, offering a reliable, cost-effective alternative to welded inserts.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This inch-system fastener adheres to UNC thread standards with Class 2B thread fit for consistent dimensional accuracy. The round head measures 0.56" OD and 0.27" height, compatible with panels as thin as 0.09". It is manufactured to meet RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance, ensuring suitability for electronics and industrial equipment under environmental regulations.
