KSB®

Specifications

Size	Measurement
M6	0.7 mm - 2.2 mm

Application Area

• Earthing studs can be used in panel thicknesses from 0.7 mm to 2.2 mm
• Maximum panel strength up to approx. 1200 MPa (self-piercing up to approx. 500 MPa)
• Can be joined in non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium)
• Consistent and reproducible electrical joint properties
• Low electrical connection resistance

Technical Characteristics

• Thread size M6
• Strength class 8.8 | 8 nut
• Stud and nut are supplied pre-assembled (for masking the contact surface when painting components)
• Outstanding mechanical connection properties even when used in thin components
• Excellent sealing properties (>> IP67 depending on component thickness and material quality)
• Corrosion resistance in accordance with customer requirements
• Simple, in-process and non-destructive quality control can be realised
• Panel structure is not affected by the joining process compared to welded fasteners
• Tolerance field limits of the positioning of the bolts can be halved compared to welded elements
