S-95117A499 M3 Press-Fit Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior panel retention with press-fit installation that eliminates the need for welding or adhesives in thin sheet applications
• Corrosion-resistant tin-plated steel construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments
• Precision Class 6H thread fit guarantees consistent mating with M3 fasteners and reduces cross-threading risks
• Optimized for 1.53 mm minimum panel thickness providing secure fastening in lightweight electronic enclosures and chassis
• Simplified installation process with standard 4.2 mm drill bit requirement reducing assembly time and tooling costs
• RoHS 3 compliance meets international environmental standards for electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing
• Right-hand coarse thread design enables quick assembly and disassembly while maintaining vibration resistance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 press-fit nut delivers exceptional engineering value in applications where traditional fastening methods are impractical. The tin-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for electronic hardware exposed to varying environmental conditions, while the round head design ensures flush mounting without protrusions. The 0.5 mm coarse thread pitch offers superior engagement in thin materials, solving common stripping issues in metric threaded insert applications. Engineered specifically for 1.53 mm minimum panel thickness, this component eliminates the need for additional reinforcement in sheet metal assemblies, reducing material costs and simplifying assembly components integration. The press-fit technology provides permanent, high-retention fastening solution that maintains integrity under vibration and thermal cycling.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision metric press-fit nut features M3 x 0.5 mm coarse threads with Class 6H thread fit tolerance according to ISO metric standards. The component is manufactured from tin-plated steel and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) environmental directives. Installation requires a 4.2 mm drill bit diameter for proper press-fit application in panels with minimum 1.53 mm thickness. The PEM® KF2-M3-ET part number ensures consistent manufacturing quality and dimensional accuracy across production batches.
