MS21059 Self-Locking Nut Plate, Floating
These lightweight, low-profile plates are an excellent way to install a captive nut behind a panel. The floating nut in these nut plates allows for some misalignment in assembly. Simply rivet the plate to the back of the stationary panel using pop rivets or solid rivets. Material is mild steel, plated or coated for corrosion resistance. Plating/coating color may vary from photo.

Note: We recommend a drop of oil on the threads the first time a screw is installed in these self-locking nutplates. This is especially important in the smaller thread sizes. We have seen heads twisted off of screws due to the high installation torque even though the nutplates are coated with a solid lubricant. The initial insertion polishes the threads. This slightly lowers the torque during subsequent insertions.
