S-96439A510 M3 Press-Fit Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Permanent, vibration-resistant installation in thin panels as slim as 1mm without requiring welding or adhesives
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-term reliability in harsh environments
• Secure Class 6H thread fit ensuring consistent, reliable engagement with M3 fasteners and reduced risk of cross-threading
• Quick and efficient assembly with a coarse M3 x 0.5mm thread for faster installation and right-hand thread direction for standard tooling
• Optimized for 4.2mm drilled holes providing a precise, interference fit that eliminates the need for additional retention hardware
• RoHS 3 compliance meeting stringent environmental regulations for use in electronics and regulated industries worldwide
• Round low-profile head design (1.5mm height) minimizing protrusion and providing a clean, finished appearance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 press-fit nut solves critical challenges in thin sheet metal and panel applications where traditional threaded inserts are impractical. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it ideal for electronics enclosures, telecommunications equipment, and automotive components exposed to demanding conditions. The press-fit installation creates a permanent, zero-clearance mounting point that withstands vibration and thermal cycling without loosening. With its Class 6H thread tolerance and coarse metric thread pitch, this component ensures reliable fastening performance while reducing assembly time and tooling requirements in high-volume production environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision press-fit nut features M3 x 0.5mm coarse threads with Class 6H thread fit per ISO metric standards. The component is designed for installation in 4.2mm diameter drilled holes in panels with 1mm minimum thickness. Manufacturing complies with PEM® engineering specifications and is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliant, ensuring adherence to environmental regulations for hazardous substance restrictions.
