Steel 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 these nuts in place.
Install these nuts by hand, with pliers, or with a snap-in nut installation and removal tool.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Grounding Snap-In Nuts
Pave a safe path for electricity—these nuts dig into the mounting surface and cut through coatings to touch the metal below for a proper ground. They’re often used to mount servers and other equipment into electronics racks. All meet EIA-310 (Electronic Industries Alliance) specifications for use in standard 19" electronics racks. Simply snap these nuts, also known as cage nuts, into square holes.
Style A nuts are green, a color commonly used to identify grounding components. They include a bolt with a serrated flange—while the nut’s teeth bite into one side, the bolt's serrations bite from the other. Install the nut by hand, with pliers, or with a snap-in nut installation and removal tool.

Slide these nuts on the edge of a panel and position them by hand. Also known as G-style clip-on nuts, they have threads that float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts.
Zinc-plated steel clip-on nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Black-phosphate steel clip-on nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Flanged Push Nuts
A flange distributes the load over a large area and reduces stress where the nut meets the material surface. Push them over threads to hold fasteners in light-duty holding applications. A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.
