Metallics CNNM6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What panel thickness does the Metallics CNNM6 cage nut fit?
The CNNM6 cage nut is made for sheet metal from 1.6mm to 2.6mm thick, which covers most rack rails, enclosure flanges and strut-style sheet panels. Outside that range the cage legs won't grip the panel properly, so measure the sheet before ordering.
2) What thread size and pitch is the CNNM6 cage nut?
M6 with a 1.0mm pitch, so it takes standard M6-1.0 machine screws or bolts. If your hardware is M6 x 1.0 (the common coarse M6 pitch), it threads straight in.
3) Can I use the CNNM6 cage nut in thinner sheet metal than 1.6mm?
No. The CNNM6 is rated for 1.6mm to 2.6mm sheet. In thinner material the cage won't stay seated and the nut can spin or fall out under torque, so you need a cage nut sized for the lighter gauge or a different fastener type such as a self-clinching nut.
4) Are Metallics CNNM6 cage nuts steel?
Yes, the CNNM6 is a steel cage nut. Steel gives you the clamp strength for structural panel and enclosure mounting, but for wash-down, exterior or corrosive locations you'd want a stainless fastener instead.
5) Do I need a tool to install an M6 cage nut, or does it snap in by hand?
Cage nuts like the CNNM6 are spring-steel retainers that compress and clip into a square punched hole in the panel. They can be squeezed in by hand or with pliers, and a cage nut insertion tool makes it faster when you're working through a 100-piece box. No welding, tapping or backing nut is needed, which is why they're used where you can't reach the back of the sheet.
