Clinch nuts are pressed or staked into a pre-drilled mounting hole, creating a fixed threaded insert that remains flush and captive in the parent material. This fastener accepts 8-32 threaded fasteners and is manufactured from zinc plated steel for corrosion resistance in light-duty industrial and electrical enclosure applications. The round head profile sits above the panel surface at 0.09 inches head height. Electricians, panel fabricators, and enclosure assemblers working on control panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings regularly install this type of hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clinch captive nut is suited for use in thin-gauge sheet metal panels with a minimum panel thickness of 0.056 inches. The 0.213-inch mounting hole diameter and 0.31-inch head diameter are sized for standard clinch nut installation tooling. Typical applications include electrical control enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, telecom racks, and light-gauge metal fabrication where a permanent, reusable threaded insert is required. Sold in a package quantity of 100 units, this part supports production assembly and service stocking needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 thread size for compatibility with standard machine screws and bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum panel thickness of 0.056 inches for use in light-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.31-inch round head diameter provides a broad seating surface after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance in indoor enclosure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody diameter of 0.212 inches sized for a 0.213-inch mounting hole for a precise press fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 100 units supports production runs and stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 8-32 clinch captive nut for installation into sheet metal panels meeting the 0.056-inch minimum thickness requirement.

Ensure the panel material is de-energized and secured before installation. The mounting hole must be sized to 0.213 inches for a proper press fit. Do not install with hammer strikes alone, as uneven force can deform the nut body or panel material.\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\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clinch Captive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 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: 0.212 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.213 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Panel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.056 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: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161706\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: IES832-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701031862578,"sku":"IES832-2","price":44.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/21d8547b310012dd1d70b1c8a10876d9.jpg?v=1788397089","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ies832-2-8-32-round-head-clinch-captive-nut-100pk","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
