Standoffs for stainless steel too thin to tap
Arconix/UK has introduced a new range of PEM self-clinching standoffs in thread sizes M3 to M5, specially designed for installation in stainless steel as thin as 1mm.
Because the fasteners are manufactured from 300 series stainless steel, they ensure the highest performance security without any worries of torque-out or pullout.
Even in restricted locations installation is very simple, as the PEM SMPS fasteners can be installed into a punched or drilled hole, using any standard press.
The major benefits of the fastener are tighter and more predictable design controls, together with more flexible assembly in restricted spaces and a reduction in loose hardware.
The fasteners are available in thread sizes M2.5 through to M3.5.
