Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 press-fit nut delivers exceptional engineering value in applications requiring reliable threaded connections in thin sheet metal. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for electronics enclosures, automotive assemblies, and industrial equipment exposed to moisture or chemicals. The round head design and precise press-fit installation method eliminate the need for welding or adhesives, reducing production complexity while maintaining structural integrity. With its Class 6H thread fit and coarse thread spacing, this component ensures rapid assembly in high-volume manufacturing environments while providing vibration resistance in dynamic applications. The compatibility with standard 4.2mm drill bits further streamlines the installation process, making it an ideal solution for panel thicknesses starting from 0.8mm.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision metric press-fit nut features M3 x 0.5mm coarse right-hand thread with Class 6H thread fit tolerance per ISO standards. The component is manufactured to precise dimensions including 6.35mm head OD and 1.5mm head height. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) ensures environmental safety standards are met for global distribution and use in regulated industries.
