S-94430A116 6-32 x 0.42" Rivet Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior pull-out resistance in metal sheets (0.020" to 0.080" thickness) due to the ribbed body design that bites securely into materials
• Lightweight yet durable construction from aluminum material, offering excellent corrosion resistance without adding significant weight to assemblies
• Reliable coarse thread engagement with 6-32 UNC threads and Class 2B fit, ensuring smooth installation and consistent clamping force in high-vibration environments
• Quick and precise installation using standard 17/64" drill bits, reducing assembly time and minimizing tooling requirements
• Enhanced flange stability with 0.39" diameter and 0.03" thickness, providing a larger bearing surface to distribute load and prevent surface damage
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting REACH and RoHS 3 standards, making them suitable for regulated industries and export markets
• Versatile right-hand thread orientation with open end design, accommodating standard tooling and allowing for through-bolt applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This aluminum ribbed rivet nut solves critical fastening challenges in metal applications where traditional welding or threading isn't feasible. The ribbed body design creates permanent, high-strength threads in thin materials (0.020" to 0.080") that would normally strip or fail under load. Engineers specify these 6-32 UNC coarse thread inserts for their exceptional pull-out resistance in sheet metal enclosures, automotive panels, and electronic chassis where vibration resistance is paramount. The aluminum construction provides natural corrosion resistance while maintaining compatibility with most industrial metals, eliminating galvanic corrosion concerns. With Class 2B thread fit precision, these rivet nuts deliver consistent performance in high-volume production environments, reducing installation errors and rework costs.

Specification Summary & Compliance
