Blind Threaded Fasteners

Machined parts generally use blind-hole PEM® brand self-clinching fasteners (whereas sheet metal is generally used with through-hole PEM® brand self-clinching fasteners).

Inserting PEM® brand self-clinching fasteners into blind holes has the extra benefit of a smooth finish on the opposite sides of sheet metal after the fastener is installed. These PEMS® can be used in sheet metal as thin as 0.075" (1.90mm).

Concealed fasteners for blind features are ideal when:

★Outside surface finish is important
★Metal is too thick for other stocked PEM® brand self-clinching fasteners
★Where protecting from air, liquid, or dust is extremely important

We stock the following PEM® brand self-clinching fasteners for blind milled holes:
