Channel nut with offset notches

A channel nut, comprising:

• a web (3);
• a first flange (1) projecting from the web (3), wherein the first flange (1) has a first notch (11) for receiving a straight first lip (81) of a strut channel;
• and
• a second flange (2) projecting from the web (3), wherein the second flange (2) has a first notch (21) for receiving the straight first lip (81) of the strut channel;
• wherein the first notch (11) of the first flange (1) has an axis that is parallel to a notch surface defined as an inner facing surface of the first notch (11) of the first flange (1) and the first notch (21) of the second flange (2) has an axis that is parallel to a notch surface defined as an inner facing surface of the first notch (21) of the second flange (2) and wherein the axis of the first notch (11) of the first flange (1) and the axis of the first notch (21) of the second flange (2) are arranged in an axially non-aligned relationship with respect to each other such that the first notch (11) of the first flange (1) and the first notch (21) of the second flange (2) form a curved first seat (61) for the straight first lip (81) of the strut channel;
• wherein the axis of the first notch (11) of the first flange (1) and the axis of the first notch (21) of the second flange (2) are offset with respect to one another in a reference direction (95) that extends parallel to a mold line (94) formed between the web (3) and the first flange (1).
