Nuts
Panel Nuts
A panel nut is a threaded body that presses into a prepared hole in sheet metal to give the panel a reusable machine-screw thread. It locks into the panel and stays in place when the mating screw is removed.
Used in sheet-metal enclosures, cabinets, appliance panels and electronic chassis. Bought by enclosure, appliance and electronics manufacturers.
