Self-Clinching Nuts
Self-Clinching Nuts are internally threaded fasteners designed for permanent installation in thin sheet metal, aluminum, and stainless steel panels. These nuts are pressed into pre-punched holes, where they displace surrounding material to form a secure, torque-resistant hold, eliminating the need for welding or loose fasteners.
At Rajal Industries, we manufacture precision-engineered Self-Clinching Nuts conforming to ISO and industry-specific standards, ensuring high pull-out resistance, long-term durability, and seamless integration in metal fabrication and electronic enclosures.
