M3 Self Clinch Nut (Dia. 3 mm)

Inner diameter: M3(3mm)
Type: Clinch Nut
Material: Mild Steel
Coating: Zinc

The M3 Clinch Nut is 3mm in internal diameter made from Mild Steel and coated with a zinc plating for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. Clinch nuts are a type of self-clinching fastener that securely embeds into a host material, typically sheet metal, to create a strong, reusable thread. Their design eliminates the need for welding or additional hardware, making them a convenient choice for lightweight and compact assemblies. They are called "clinch nuts" because of the "clinch" mechanism, where they are pressed into a pre-drilled hole under force, causing the metal to flow into specially designed serrations or grooves on the nut. This process locks the nut firmly in place.

Applications of M3 Clinch Nuts

M3 Clinch Nuts are versatile and widely used across industries, including:

• Electronics: For securely fastening components to enclosures or circuit boards.
• Automotive: Ideal for attaching panels, brackets, and interior components.
• Aerospace: Lightweight and strong, perfect for fastening in aircraft assembly.
• Appliances: Common in manufacturing durable consumer appliances like washing machines and refrigerators.
• Metal Fabrication: Essential in joining thin sheets without deforming or damaging the material.
