Electro Hardware EWN-024-1 Cu Round Head Steel Weld Nut 10-24

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE EWN-024-1 CU is a round head steel weld nut with a 10-24 inch thread and a copper flash finish. It is designed to be permanently welded to sheet metal panels and similar thin-gauge assemblies, creating a fixed threaded anchor point that eliminates the need for a backing nut. The body diameter measures 0.44 inches, the pilot height is 0.155 inches, and the part accommodates a minimum panel thickness of 0.06 inches. Three projections on the base allow for controlled weld contact and consistent seating. Fabricators, sheet metal workers, and maintenance technicians working in light industrial or HVAC equipment assemblies typically install this fastener.

This weld nut is suited for applications where a threaded insert must be integrated directly into a panel or bracket during fabrication. It works on steel panels and similar ferrous sheet stock meeting the minimum thickness requirement of 0.06 inches. The 0.25-inch pilot hole diameter allows the nut to locate accurately before welding. Typical applications include HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and light structural panel work where access to the rear of the panel after assembly is limited or not possible.

Key Features

• 10-24 inch thread provides a standard, widely compatible fastener interface
• Three-projection base ensures consistent weld contact and flush seating on the panel
• Copper flash finish offers a surface treatment that aids weld quality and corrosion resistance in mild environments
• 0.155-inch pilot height allows positive panel location before welding
• Accepts panels as thin as 0.06 inches, suitable for light-gauge sheet metal work
• Sold in a pack of 25, with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series weld nut for use with ferrous sheet metal panels requiring a 10-24 threaded insert and a 0.25-inch pilot hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires resistance welding or MIG welding equipment appropriate for light-gauge steel. Power down all related equipment before positioning weld nuts in a live assembly. Ensure the pilot hole in the panel is drilled or punched to 0.25 inches for proper nut location prior to welding. Allow the weld to cool fully before applying thread load to avoid joint distortion.
