Self Clinching Fasteners for Electronics Enclosures

Harrison Silverdale is a specialist source of self clinching fasteners for electronics enclosures, supplying manufacturers across the UK and Europe since 1982 from its base in Dronfield, near Sheffield.

About Self Clinching Nuts

Self clinching nuts are pressed into a punched or drilled hole in ductile sheet metal. The sheet flows into an undercut on the nut and locks it in place permanently, with no welding and no loose hardware on the line. They give a strong, load-bearing thread in thin sheet and sit flush or near flush on the reverse side.

Fasteners for Electronics Manufacturers

Electronics assemblies rely on small hardware doing its job every time. Standoffs keep boards spaced and earthed, self clinching nuts give reliable threads in thin chassis, and inserts provide durable threads in plastic housings. Loose or failed hardware means returns, so it pays to get it right.

Choosing the Ri

Sheet thickness, hardness and hole size all have to be right for a clinch that holds. Harrison Silverdale can help select nut types and sizes to suit the material and the loads.
