On a J nut the top portion (without the treads) is shorter than the lower portion, the U nut is the same length.

re: What's the proper name for these clips?
Wonder if this post will make the 3rd page of nuts. I've always called them speed nuts, or J clips. But I have found that just about everyone, has a different name for everything. Just call up a part's store and ask for something... you explain what it is and they go "Oh, you mean a ......."
