The stud features a 6-32 thread size and an overall length of 5\/16 inches, making it a compact solution for thin-panel applications. A zinc plating finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty industrial environments. With a minimum panel thickness requirement of just 0.04 inches and a head height of 0.09 inches, this captive stud is well suited for use in tight assemblies where conventional through-bolting is not practical. Fabricators, sheet metal workers, and enclosure assemblers install these to create reliable threaded inserts without welding or secondary operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis captive stud is used in light-gauge sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment housings, and similar assemblies where a flush or low-profile threaded anchor is required. The 6-32 thread is a standard machine screw size common in instrumentation, electronics enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. The part is packaged in quantities of 100, making it appropriate for production runs and service shops that install or fabricate panel assemblies on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 thread size for compatibility with standard machine screws in light-duty panel assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16 inches overall length suits compact, low-profile fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum panel thickness of 0.04 inches accommodates very thin-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc plating over steel provides corrosion resistance in indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1005 to C1018 carbon steel grade provides adequate strength for panel fastening loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow 0.09 inches head height minimizes protrusion on finished panel surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard captive stud for use in thin-gauge sheet metal panels and enclosures requiring a 6-32 threaded insert with a minimum panel thickness of 0.04 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by sheet metal fabricators or assembly technicians using press-in or clinching tooling appropriate for captive stud hardware. Ensure the panel material meets the minimum thickness specification of 0.04 inches before installation to achieve proper retention. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure before installing or servicing fasteners within live panels. Follow applicable assembly drawings and torque specifications for the mating screw to avoid stripping the 6-32 thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Panel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C1005 to C1018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ELECTRO HARDWARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: EFH-632-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ELECTRO HARDWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743695307058,"sku":"EFH-632-5","price":28.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1ff184b897b7655571c4fbdaedf5136d.jpg?v=1788849302","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/electro-hardware-efh-632-5-captive-stud-6-32-thread","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
