S-99051A980 10-32 Press-Fit Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability.
• Exceptional panel retention in thin materials down to 0.038" minimum thickness, preventing loosening under vibration.
• Precision fine threading with 10-32 UNF and Class 2B fit for smooth, secure mating with standard male fasteners.
• Quick, tool-less installation via press-fitting into a standard 13/32" (0.4063") drilled hole, reducing assembly time and cost.
• Durable round head design with 0.47" OD and 0.17" height for a low-profile, robust connection that resists pull-out.
• Right-hand thread direction ensures compatibility with common assembly practices and standard tools.
• Environmental compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), meeting strict regulatory standards for electronics and industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for high-volume assembly, this 10-32 UNF press-fit nut solves critical challenges in panel mounting and thin-sheet metal applications. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemicals, extending service life in industrial fasteners for enclosures, chassis, and electronic housings. Its round head press-fit design ensures uniform distribution of installation force, minimizing panel distortion while achieving reliable, permanent retention without additional locking features. By utilizing a standard 13/32" drill bit, it streamlines production processes and reduces the need for specialized tooling, making it a cost-effective solution for automated assembly lines and high-vibration environments where thread integrity is paramount.
