Abstract
A U-nut that is adapted for use with a stand-off fastener to prevent excessive loads on a panel comprises two legs and a joining portion therebetween and an aligned threaded barrel and aperture in the legs. A resilient spring finger follows the contours of the legs and joining portion and does not intersect with a zone between the aperture and barrel. The spring finger will frictionally engage a panel received between the legs of the U-nut.
