Self-Clinching Studs and Pins Bulletin

SELF-CLINCHING STUDS AND PINS
BULLETIN
FH
712
R e v 913

PEM self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets and squeezing into
place with any standard press. The squeezing action embeds the head of the stud into the sheet. The metal displaced
by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove securely locking the stud into the
sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances.
Dog Point and Anti Cross-Thread Options PAGE 4

FH/FHS/FHA (flush-head) studs are
available in aluminum, steel, or stainless
steel - PAGE 5
FH4/FHP (flush-head) Studs for Stainless
Steel are designed to provide strong
threads in stainless steel sheets as thin
as .040/1mm. Type FHP studs have high
corrosion resistance - PAGE 6
FHL/FHLS (flush, low-displacement head)
Studs install closer to the edge of a sheet
than PEM Types FH/FHS studs - PAGE 7
TFH/TFHS (non-flush) Studs are for sheets
as thin as .020/0.51mm. The stud head
will not be flush but will project above the
sheet surface approximately .025/0.64mm
- PAGE 8
HFH/HFHS (heavy-duty) Studs have a large
head which projects above the sheet material
to distribute the axial tightening force over a
large area thereby improving pull through
resistance - PAGE 9

OPTIONAL DOG POINT FEATURE
L(1)
PEM dog point lead-in option for studs allows quick

location of the mating fastener during assembly
and protects the first thread of the stud during nut
engagement. this feature is available on Types FH,
FHL, HFH, HFE, HF109, HFG8 and TFH studs.

OPTIONAL MAThread ANTI CROSS-THREAD FEATURE

PennEngineering is a licensee of MAThread
Anti Cross-Threading Technology. This unique
design allows the threads to self-align and
drive easily with reduced effort. This helps
speed assembly, reduce or eliminate failures,
repairs, scrap, downtime, and warranty service
associated with thread damage. This option is
available on most types of PEM studs.
Heres how it works:
Misaligned Axis
The anti cross-threading
design offers users the
benefit of self-aligning,
anti cross-threading
threads.
Anti Cross-Thread Feature
Threads Cam
As the threads come into
contact, the patented
anti cross-thread begins
to cam over the female
thread.
Threads Drive Normally

The anti cross-threads
promote alignment of the
two thread helixes. The
fasteners drive easily
with reduced effort.
MAThread is a registered trademark of MAThread inc.
OPTIONAL THREAD MASK

PEM Blu-Coat thread mask is available for applications where hardware is installed prior to painting. During
assembly, the threads of the mating hardware will remove paint, electro deposited automotive under coatings, and
weld spatter upon application of torque. PEM studs can be specially ordered with thread mask applied.
BC suffix will be added to part number to designate Blu-Coat thread mask to fastener.

TYPES FH/FHS/FHA THREADED STUDS
Flush-head for sheet thickness of .040/1mm and greater.

Type FH is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell B scale) 80 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 150 or less.
Type FHS is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell B scale) 70 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 125 or less.
Type FHA is recommended for use in aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell B scale) 50 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 82 or less.

TYPES HFH/HFHS/HFHB HIGH-STRENGTH STUDS
Types HFH and HFHS are for high-strength applications in sheets as thin as .050/1.3mm.
Type HFHB is for superior electrical/mechanical attachment in copper.
Type HFH is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell B Scale) 85 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 165 or less.
Type HFHS is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell B Scale) 70 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 125 or less.
Type HFHB is recommended for use in copper sheets HRB (Rockwell B Scale) 55 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 83 or less.

(1) For plated studs, Class 2A/6g, the maximum major and pitch diameter, after plating, may equal basic sizes and be gauged to Class 3A/4h.
Per ASME B1.1, Section 7, Paragraph 7.2 and ASME B1.13M, Section 8, paragraph 8.2.
(2) Special order with additional charge.
(3) Part numbers for aluminum studs have no finish suffix.
(4) X suffix studs may have pitch diameters and major diameters below 2A Basic, per ANSI B1.1, Section 7, and B1.13M, Section 8 to allow
for minimum of 0.0002 of plating.
(5) See PEM Technical Support section of our web site for related plating standards and specifications.
(6) HRB - Hardness Rockwell B Scale. HB - Hardness Brinell.
INSTALLATION - TYPES FH/FHS/FHA, FHL/FHLS, TFH/TFHS AND HFE THREADED STUDS

PEM brand self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheet material and squeezing
them into place with any standard press.
All that is required is a flat or recessed punch and an anvil having a hole to clear the thread diameter so that force is applied
between the top of the stud head and underside of the sheet material. The squeezing action forces the ribs of the stud into the
sheet, displacing sheet material, causing it to fill the annular groove under the head of the stud.
The following information provides specifics with regard to stud installation.

INSTALLATION - TYPE FH/FHS/FHA THREADED STUDS
The illustrations below indicate suggested tooling for applying installation forces. In most cases, when using sheets .060/1.51mm
and thicker, the anvil requires only a straight thru hole to accommodate the stud (see illustrations below for details). For sheets
less than .060 /1.51mm, the hole requires a countersink with dimension A at the top to provide for metal flow around the shank of
the stud.
Tooling for sheet thicknesses less than .060 /1.51mm with #2 thru
#10/M3 thru M5 thread sizes and less than .093 /2.4mm for 1/4/
M6 threads.
Tooling for sheet thicknesses .060/1.51mm and greater with #2

INSTALLATION - TYPES FH4/FHP STUDS FOR STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS

For Type FH4/FHP studs, a special anvil with a raised ring is required to create a proper installation. The raised ring acts
as a second displacer of the stainless sheet material, thereby ensuring that the annular groove is filled. Please see page
6 for recommended sheet thickness range.
The special anvils are available from PEM stock or can be machined from suitable tool steel. A hardness of HRC 55/HB 547
minimum is required to provide long anvil life. We recommend measuring the P dimension every 5000 installations to ensure
that the anvil remains within specification.

INSTALLATION - TYPE TFH/TFHS NON-FLUSH STUDS

The illustrations below indicate suggested tooling for type TFH studs. Note that for sheets .030/0.76mm and thicker, the anvil
requires only a straight thru hole to accommodate the stud. For sheets less than .030/0.76mm down to .020/0.51mm, the hole
requires a countersink with dimension A at the top to provide for metal flow around the shank of the stud. The standard punch
design below provides clearance for the stud head and reduces chances of over squeezing the head of the stud into the sheet
metal. When installed, the stud head is not flush but will protrude approximately .025/0.64mm.

way pertain to the axial strength of the threads, allowable tightening torque or design loading of an assembly. The values reported
are anticipated destructive averages when all installation specifications and procedures are followed. When properly installed,
PEM self-clinching studs should perform better than the values given here.

(1) Maximum recommended tightening torques for aluminum studs are 60 percent of these values.
(2) Performance values shown are typical for fasteners properly installed using raised ring tooling in good condition. We recommend replacing
installation tooling when the height of the P (see page 15) dimension is reduced to .005/0.13mm due to wear. Reductions in performance
may occur as the height of the protrusion wears. Variations in hole preparation, installation force, and sheet material type, thickness, and
hardness will affect both performance and tooling life.
