A plate nut, also known as a nut plate, is a stamped sheet metal nut that is riveted to a workpiece. They have a long tube that is internally threaded and a plate with two clearance holes for rivets. They were originally developed for the aerospace industry, but are now also common in automotive racing.[1]

Locknut types are available, which utilize a nylon locking element, much like a nyloc nut. Other types have a floating nut or replaceable locking elements.[1]
