Carbon & 304 Stainless Steel Flat Head Rivnut Nutsert Insert Rivet Nut UNC 6#-32 to 1/2-13

Carbon & 304 Stainless Steel Flat Head Rivnut Nutsert — UNC Imperial Thread 6#-32 to 1/2-13

UNC imperial thread flat head blind rivet nuts (rivnuts / nutserts) create permanent threaded inserts in thin sheet metal and panels using North American UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standards. Available in both carbon steel and 304 stainless steel, these rivnuts cover the full range of common UNC sizes from 6#-32 (used in PC cases and electronics) through 1/2-13 (structural and industrial applications).

Key Specifications

Why Choose UNC Thread Rivet Nuts?

• UNC imperial thread — compatible with North American standard bolts, screws, and threaded rod; essential for PC case (6#-32), electronics, and North American industrial equipment
• Full UNC range 6#-32 to 1/2-13 — covers PC case and electronics (6#-32, 8#-32) through structural and industrial (3/8-16, 1/2-13)
• Carbon steel & 304 SS options — carbon steel for indoor/dry applications; 304 SS for outdoor, humid, and corrosion-resistant requirements
• Flat head (flush) — sits flush with panel surface; no protruding collar
• Semi-hex body — anti-rotation geometry prevents spinning during bolt installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What UNC size do I need for PC case mounting?

A: PC case PSU mounting, HDD bays, and optical drive cages use 6#-32 UNC thread. Motherboard mounting uses M3 metric thread (not UNC). Ensure you select the correct thread standard for your application.

Q: Can I use UNC rivet nuts with metric bolts?

A: No. UNC (imperial) and metric threads are not interchangeable. A 6#-32 UNC rivet nut requires a 6#-32 UNC bolt. Using a metric bolt will cross-thread and damage the insert. Always verify the thread standard of your bolts before selecting rivet nuts.

Q: What is the difference between UNC and UNF thread?

A: UNC (Unified National Coarse) has a larger thread pitch (fewer threads per inch) and is the standard for general fastening. UNF (Unified National Fine) has a smaller thread pitch (more threads per inch) for precision and vibration-resistant applications. These rivet nuts use UNC thread.
