Captive Fastener

Self-Clinching Floating Nuts - Series CFAS CFAC

Captive Fastener’s self-clinching floating nuts provide an excellent design solution for applications where a mating misalignment is a possibility. The series is comprised of the CFAS, CFAC, CFFS, CFFC, and CF4-AC types of floating and floating/ locking self-clinching fasteners.

• Floating nuts allow for a misalignment of up to .030”/0.76mm in the assembly.
• If the design is a large electronic cabinet with a large door on the front, it is beneficial to use floating clinch nuts to allow for some minor misalignment of the holes in the cabinet and the door.
•  Floating fasteners are made with an outer body with an inner nut that that floats to compensate for the misalignment. This allows for a successful assembly of the mating components.
