These steel studs are zinc plated to resist corrosion in wet environments. Press them into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press or similar pressure tool. Also known as self-clinching studs, ribs under the head hold the stud firmly in place. Length listed is overall length.

Increase or decrease metric thread size from one male-threaded part to another. Commonly used to connect two differently sized threaded rods, they have a hex-shaped body, so you can tighten them with a standard wrench. You can also use these adapters to change thread pitch or convert a male-threaded connection to a female-threaded connection. Small adapters can work as threaded standoffs, positioning and separating circuit boards and other components in assemblies.

Choose black-oxide steel adapters to match the aesthetics of your system or for their mild corrosion resistance. The finish won't chip or rub off. They resist rust in indoor and dry environments, but avoid using them in corrosive environments.

Zinc-plated steel adapters are a good option in dry environments. The zinc plating prevents the steel from corroding until the plating wears away.

At about a third of the weight of steel adapters, aluminum adapters are the lightest we offer. They resist corrosion in wet environments.

18-8 stainless steel adapters resist corrosion caused by water. They're good for wet and damp environments but will corrode when exposed to salt water and other chloride solutions.
