Snap-In Nuts

Snap these nuts — also known as cage nuts — into square holes in thin material. They're often used to mount servers and other equipment in electronics racks. Threads float inside the cage, so you can fasten a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts. Mounting legs expand to lock the nuts in place. Install by hand, with pliers, or with a snap-in nut installation tool.

• Phosphate-Coated Steel— Mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
• Zinc-Plated Steel— Resists corrosion in wet environments.
• 18-8 Stainless Steel— Excellent corrosion resistance in most environments; may be mildly magnetic.
• Nylon— Chemical resistant, nonconductive, and lightweight. Inserting a screw pushes the prongs against the panel to secure the nut.
• Easy-Install— Flexible nylon casing squeezes into a square hole from either side. Meets EN 61373 and NEBS GR-63-CORE for heavy-vibration and seismic environments.
• Grounding— Teeth cut through panel coatings to touch bare metal for a proper ground. Meets EIA-310 for standard 19" electronics racks.
