Self clinching nuts, also known as rivet nuts or standoffs, are mechanical parts used to strengthen materials. They are usually made of metal material and are fixed to the workpiece by means of pressure riveting. The installation of standoff nuts is usually done using special tools that create a stable connection by simultaneously pressing and holding the nut and workpiece together.

Standoff nuts usually consist of two parts: a nut and a rivet. Rivets are usually threaded at one end for attachment to a nut. The other end usually has a fixed head that is flattened during the clinching process to securely hold the nut and workpiece together.
Standoff nuts are commonly used in applications requiring high-strength connections, such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace and mechanical engineering. They can be used on virtually any type of material, including metals, plastics and composites. Using self clinching fasteners saves time and labor because they are usually easier to install and more reliable than traditional bolts and nuts.
Although standoff nuts are a powerful joining technique, there are several important factors to be aware of when installing them. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the installation tool is selected correctly and set up correctly to ensure the correct installation of nuts and rivets. Second, the correct size and type of standoff nut must be used to match the workpiece material and application. Finally, maintenance and care
