Self clinching parts

HONSEL self-clinching elements with inside and outside thread are particularly suitable for use in thin sheet metal. They allow the thickness of the parts as a whole to be reduced, with the benefits of lower weight and material saving.

The self-clinching element displaces the material in the hole, which flows into an undercut in the fastener. After setting, the elements are permanently connected to the base material such that any screw connections can subsequently be removed without risking displacement of the fastener.

Mechanical insertion prevents surface damage, enabling the products to be used even in prefabricated materials.

Typical applications currently include the production of modern communication devices (such as smartphones, computers and laptops) as well as in the automotive industry.

HONSEL can supply a wide range of high-quality self-clinching and rivet fasteners for sheet metal as a perfect complement to the proven blind rivet products from stock. A range of thousands of options, along with the usual HONSEL fast delivery service, guarantees excellent, reliable support - even for customised adaptations.
