Restrictions on placement of self clinching fasteners
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 10:51 am
Self Clinching Fasteners cannot be placed too close to an edge. This includes cutouts that you place on your box. However, there is not a single distance rule that works - every part has its own restrictions. If there is any doubt about a part - say it is close to a cutout - contact sales@protocase.com to find out if it can be placed. For instance, a larger fastener may have a limitation of not being closer than .4" (10 mm) from an edge whereas a smaller fastener may have a limit around .23" (6 mm).
