Fasteners for PC Board applications

PEM® offers a comprehensive line of fastening solutions for use with PC board applications used in aerospace and defense electronics. These fasteners can satisfy component-to-board, board-to-board, and board-to-chassis attachment needs and deliver optimum product performance.

ReelFast® Surface Mount Fasteners

PEM® surface mount technology (SMT) fasteners mount on
PC boards and use the same soldering processes as the
board’s other electronic components. 

  • Eliminates common productivity and damage issues caused by loose fastening hardware and broaching fasteners
  • Supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for easy pick-and-place assembly
  • Excellent pullout and torque-out forces

Broaching Fasteners

This fastening solution offers a practical alternative to loose hardware, which can increase the risk of poor performance in mission-critical applications. It is a knurled-shank fastening device that can be pressed into a hole to provide a permanent, strong, threaded or unthreaded attachment point in PC boards. 

  • Specially formed axial grooves around the fastener shank “broach” or cut into the material, creating a firm, interference-type fit resistance to rotation

Fasteners For Network Applications

Product performance is only as strong as the components inside. That’s why so many trust PEM® fastening solutions. Our fasteners can be found in just about any network application for aerospace and defense – from servers, switches, and routers to 5G network infrastructure and data centers.
