Description
The Specialinsert 9202A is a Deform-Nut stainless steel threaded rivet nut with M3 thread, a countersunk head, and inclined external knurling, sized at 5 mm shaft diameter and 10 mm body length. The deformation profile and knurling secure the insert into the host panel during blind, single-side installation without welding, riveting, or back-side access.
Where the Specialinsert 9202A fits in metal panel work
Sheet metal fabricators, enclosure assemblers, and panel-anchor specialists use this Deform-Nut to install permanent M3 threads in thin steel, aluminum, and stainless panels. The countersunk head sits flush with the panel face for a clean cosmetic appearance, while the inclined knurling resists rotation under tightening torque. Common applications include electronic enclosures, automotive trim, and HVAC sheet metal where a back-side weld nut is not practical.
How Specialinsert 9202A holds in service
The Deform-Nut profile cold-forms during pull-up installation, creating a high-grip seat against the panel underside. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in indoor and protected outdoor environments, and the M3 thread takes standard machine screws without thread-locking compound unless service vibration warrants it. Suitable host panel thickness depends on the installer specification sheet.
