Overview

Floating fasteners hold a nut in a clinch retainer that lets it move slightly, so mating holes do not need to line up exactly. Locking versions also resist vibration.

Full dimensions, preferred lengths and installation / push-out / torque-out performance data are shown in the datasheet below, taken from the self-clinching fasteners catalogue.
