Certain projects necessitate the installation of an industrial fastener in very close proximity to the sheet's edge, near a hole, or close to a bend line. In such instances, OneMonroe Fasteners recommends employing a close edge self-clinching stud. This type of self-clinching stud allows for the insertion of the fastener much closer to the sheet's edge than what is feasible with most other stud types. The close edge stud results in a flush-head assembly when working with material thicknesses of .040 inches (1mm) or more. These characteristics render the close edge stud a favored choice among engineers seeking a high-quality self-clinching stud to meet the specific demands of their application.
