The clinching design displaces host material during installation, locking the nut flush and creating a strong, torque-resistant threaded insert without the need for welding or adhesives. This 10-24 threaded fastener is suited for enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar light-gauge fabricated assemblies. The head diameter measures 0.34 inches and the head height is 0.09 inches, keeping the installed profile low. A minimum panel thickness of 0.0299 inches is required for proper retention. Installation is performed by machine shops, fabricators, and trade technicians working with sheet metal assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ESS-024-0 is used in applications where a reliable threaded insert is needed in thin sheet metal without access to the back side of the panel. Common install scenarios include electrical enclosure manufacturing, control panel fabrication, HVAC cabinet assembly, and any application requiring a permanent, vibration-resistant threaded fastener in light-gauge steel or similar substrate. The 10-24 thread size is compatible with standard machine screws used across electrical, HVAC, and panel-building applications. This part is sold in packages of 50 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-24 thread size for use with standard machine screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound head clinch design installs permanently into host panel material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum panel thickness of 0.0299 inches ensures compatibility with light-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead diameter of 0.34 inches and head height of 0.09 inches for a low-profile installed footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hole diameter of 0.25 inches for consistent panel prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in typical indoor enclosure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package quantity of 50 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 10-24 round head clinch captive nut for use in sheet metal panels meeting a minimum thickness of 0.0299 inches.

Ensure the mounting hole diameter is prepared to 0.25 inches before installation. Power down any associated electrical assembly before working on panels or enclosures. Do not attempt installation by hammer or impact, as improper installation force can deform the nut or panel and compromise thread integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clinch Captive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 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\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.249 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Panel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0299 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Plated Steel\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: 1.8 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: ESS-024-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ELECTRO HARDWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740845572402,"sku":"ESS-024-0","price":41.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2adbb570005f3ed4b8b5c26cb753351d_5903546b-f78a-4544-80d9-96209f111e81.jpg?v=1788827816","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/electro-hardware-ess-024-0-clinch-captive-nut-10-24","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
