MHN™ Self-piercing clinch nuts for thin sheet applications

Application area

• Can be universally used for component thicknesses from 0.7 to 3.5 mm and tensile strengths of up to 700 MPa
• Suitable for a wide range of high dynamic, static and impact load conditions
• Suitable for use where threaded fittings need to be resistant to high axial forces
• Designed to be a self-piercing nut
• Suitable for use with surface-treated, galvanized or painted components

Technical Characteristics

• Thread sizes: M6 to M12
• P.C. 10 (standard)
• Resistance to corrosion in accordance with the customer’s requirements
• No adverse effects on the joint or function of the thread; no damage due to weld spatters
• High resistance to twist and ejection forces, even for thin sheet metals
• Nut positioning tolerance ranges can be halved as compared to welding methods
• Straightforward, in-process and non-destructive quality testing possible by worker instead of elaborate destructive tests
