PEM® MICRO SELF-CLINCHING STANDOFF FASTENERS
IDEAL FOR SPACING APPLICATIONS IN
COMPACT ELECTRONICS
New PEM® micro
self-clinching standoff fasteners introduce ideal hardware for spacing or
stacking applications in compact electronic assemblies. These micro standoffs can serve as practical,
cost-effective, and permanently secure solutions enabling quicker assembly of
devices ranging from hand-held consumer electronics to medical equipment, among
others.
PEM Type MSO4™ micro self-clinching
standoffs are manufactured from 400 Series stainless steel and are engineered
with threads as small as M1.0 / #00 and in lengths as short as 2mm /
.080”. They can be installed into sheet
metal (including 300 Series stainless steel) as thin as 0.4mm / .016” with
maximum hardness up to HRB 88 on the Rockwell “B” scale.
The
micro standoffs clinch permanently into place by simply pressing them into a properly sized mounting hole using a punch and anvil until
the fastener’s head is flush with the sheet.
Upon installation, they become a permanent part of an assembly, will not
loosen or fall out, and provide strong and reusable load-bearing threads. Installing them automatically can further
reduce costs by accelerating production and eliminating any need to handle the
small parts.
These RoHS-compliant
micro standoffs are part of a growing family of PEM micro self-clinching
hardware products.
Detailed
specifications (Bulletin MSO4) and free part drawings (PEM CAD Library) for these
RoHS-compliant fasteners can be accessed at www.pemnet.com
