Fasteners with unique float capability compensate for up to 1.52mm mating hole misalignment
Patented MAThread anti-cross threading technology corrects off-angle installations, aligns components, and slides through clogged internal threads, and a shoulder on the retainer portion of the fastener helps simplify installation. Thread sizes range from #4-40 through ¼-20 and M3 through M6 and available options include a scratch-proof DuraBlack finish. Assorted coloured plastic caps are also available. Floating self-clinching nuts can be specified with non-locking threads (Types AS, AC, and A4) or self-locking threads (Types LAS, LAC, and LA4). They provide permanent load-bearing threads in metal sheets as thin as 0.97mm and permit a minimum of 0.76mm adjustment for mating hole misalignment. Their unique design allows the fastener’s threads to extend fully into the retainer shank to impart added strength and support in an assembly. Thread sizes range from #4-40 through 1/4-28 and M3 through M6. Types A4 and LA4 fasteners specifically are designed for use in stainless steel sheets.
