S-97467A728 3/8"-16 x 0.69" Rivet Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior vibration resistance with ribbed body design that prevents rotation and ensures secure, long-term fastening in high-stress applications
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications
• Reliable thread engagement with Class 2B thread fit that ensures consistent performance and reduces cross-threading risks during installation
• Wide material compatibility with a 0.027" to 0.15" thickness range, making it versatile for various metal fabrication projects
• Quick and precise installation using standard 17/32" drill bits, reducing assembly time and improving production efficiency
• Enhanced pull-out resistance from the 0.685" flange diameter that distributes load evenly and prevents material deformation
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH compliance, meeting international regulatory standards for industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 3/8"-16 UNC ribbed rivet nut delivers exceptional engineering value in demanding metal applications where vibration resistance and corrosion protection are critical. The ribbed body design mechanically locks into parent materials, eliminating spin-out issues common in smooth-body fasteners. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it maintains structural integrity in corrosive environments while the coarse UNC threads provide rapid installation and superior holding power. The 0.47" installed length and 0.685" flange diameter create a robust clamping force that withstands dynamic loads in automotive frames, machinery enclosures, and structural assemblies. This combination of features addresses common industrial pain points including thread stripping, fastener loosening, and premature corrosion failure.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This rivet nut features precision Class 2B thread fit with 3/8"-16 UNC coarse threads and right-hand thread direction for standard tool compatibility. Critical dimensions include 0.53" body diameter, 0.685" flange diameter, and 0.035" flange thickness with open end configuration. The product is manufactured to industry standards and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across global industrial markets.
