Stainless steel hexagonal rivet nut column

The stainless steel hexagonal rivet nut column is a specialized standoff pillar designed for secure board-to-board stacking and spacing. Its defining feature is the through-hole, which allows a screw to pass completely through the component. The "thread free" central section and the hexagonal design prevent rotation during the assembly process, ensuring perfect alignment. This riveting bracket is made of durable stainless steel, which is more corrosion-resistant than other materials, has high mechanical strength, and can be used in multi-layered components in electronic housings.

Installation

Installation of the stainless steel hexagonal rivet nut column is a permanent, one-time process. It is securely mounted into a pre-drilled PCB hole using a riveting technique, which deforms the bottom end to clamp the board firmly. The flat-top design is flush with the PCB surface, saving vertical space. This component is suitable for applications that require fixed mounting points but do not require internal threads, simplifying the production process and improving structural strength.Stainless steel is suitable for use in harsh environments and can be used stably for a long time.

What are the load-bearing capabilities?

The load a stainless steel hexagonal rivet nut column can handle depends on its size (like M4, M6, M8), the type of steel used (low or medium carbon), and how thick the base material is (its grip range). Manufacturers put out technical sheets that list exactly how much pull-out strength (tensile) and shear strength each version can take. Make sure to check these specs before using them,they’re important for getting the right one.
