It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and a 1.5-inch overall length (OAL), making it well-suited for thin-panel applications with a minimum panel thickness of 0.04 inches. Manufactured from C1005 to C1018 grade carbon steel with a zinc plating finish for corrosion resistance, this captive stud installs permanently into a panel, allowing a mating screw or nut to be driven without the stud backing out. Electricians, enclosure fabricators, and sheet metal technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis captive stud is used in residential and commercial electrical panel assemblies, control enclosures, and equipment covers where a retained fastener is needed for repeated access. The 8-32 thread size is a common standard in electrical and electronic enclosure work. The low minimum panel thickness of 0.04 inches makes this part appropriate for thin-gauge sheet metal work. It ships in a package quantity of 50, suitable for production or service stock quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 unified coarse thread for wide compatibility with standard nuts and mating hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch overall length suits typical panel access and clearance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum panel thickness of 0.04 inches accommodates thin-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC1005 to C1018 carbon steel construction for reliable mechanical strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plating finish provides corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaptive design keeps the stud retained in the panel during assembly and service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or production fastener for thin-panel sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and control boxes requiring an 8-32 captive threaded stud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by sheet metal fabricators, electricians, or enclosure assembly technicians using standard press-in or clinch installation tooling appropriate for captive studs. De-energize and lock out all electrical panels before installing or servicing fasteners in live enclosures, per applicable NEC guidelines. Verify that the panel material and thickness meet the 0.04-inch minimum specification before installation. Do not overtighten mating hardware beyond the rated capacity of the 8-32 thread engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 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, C1005 to C1018 grade\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: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.82 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-832-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ELECTRO HARDWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51741655105842,"sku":"EFH-832-24","price":25.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5cf0d86459072c77e13222960ba2bb8a_d4f83869-93a7-4d2d-a24e-d6eabd3d4368.jpg?v=1788832750","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/electro-hardware-efh-832-24-captive-stud-8-32-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
