Self-clinching KAL-Nuts are a type of self-clinching nut that is designed to be used in thin sheet metal. The nut has a small, tapered head that allows it to be crimped into a hole that is slightly smaller than the head of the nut. This makes it possible to install the nut without distorting or damaging the sheet metal. Self-clinching KAL-Nuts are typically made of steel or stainless steel and are available in a variety of sizes and finishes.
