NUT,SHEET SPRING (P/N nas487-16) - New Surplus

The NAS487-16 is a sheet spring nut designed to provide captive threads on thin panels and brackets in aerospace assemblies. This fastener mounts on sheet metal edges where tapping is impractical, allowing machine screws to secure access panels, equipment mounts, and structural brackets. Conforming to NAS487 specifications with MS33737 equivalents, the sheet spring nut grips the panel edge while the screw threads into the captive nut body.

Installation requires verification per aircraft IPC and maintenance manual procedures to ensure proper seating and load distribution on thin-gauge materials.
