Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 18-8 stainless steel press-fit stud delivers exceptional value in sheet metal assembly applications where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are critical. The fully threaded UNC coarse thread design ensures maximum engagement strength while the precision press-fit installation eliminates tapping operations, significantly reducing assembly time and tooling requirements. Engineered for materials as thin as 0.04", this 6-32 threaded insert maintains structural integrity in lightweight assemblies while the right-hand thread direction provides compatibility with standard fastening systems. The combination of stainless steel material and controlled hole diameter tolerance (0.137") creates a vibration-resistant connection ideal for electronic enclosures, machinery panels, and automotive components where reliability cannot be compromised.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This press-fit stud features 6-32 UNC coarse threads with Class 2A thread fit per unified thread standards, ensuring precise dimensional accuracy and interchangeability. The component maintains RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance for environmental safety and is manufactured to PEM® specifications for consistent performance. Installation requires a 0.137" hole diameter with tolerance range of 0.000" to 0.003" for secure press-fit retention, suitable for minimum material thickness of 0.04" and minimum edge distance of 1/4".
