Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 10-32 UNF rivet nut in zinc yellow-chromate-plated steel addresses critical challenges in plastic component assembly, where traditional fasteners often cause material cracking or loosening under vibration. The bulbed body design expands securely behind thin panels, distributing load evenly to prevent pull-through in materials ranging from 0.020" to 0.175" thickness. Its Class 2B fine threads provide superior resistance to vibrational loosening in automotive trim, electronics enclosures, and industrial equipment housings. The right-hand thread direction and open end type facilitate straightforward installation with standard tools, reducing assembly time while maintaining consistent clamping force in high-cycle production environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This rivet nut features a 0.33" body diameter and 0.51" flange diameter with UNF thread standards and Class 2B thread fit for precise dimensional accuracy. Manufacturing adheres to industry specifications for right-hand fine threads and includes full compliance with REACH (EC 1907/2006) and RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for regulated industrial and consumer applications.
