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.
They use a washer for easy installation with a flared punch into sheets as thin as 0.79mm.
Once installed, the panel fasteners allow for radial float in an assembly.
PEM Type PFF panel fasteners feature a standard slot/Phillips drives (or optional six-lobe drives) with a standard black ABS plastic moulded-through knob.
The knob has external lobes to enable operation by hand as well as by tool.
An aluminium retainer and spring-action plastic "fingers" allow the knob to be held in a retracted position.
Optional knob colours (red, yellow, green, orange, blue and violet) will not flake off and can be specified for colour-coding/matching.
The panel fastener assemblies can also be ordered with optional UL94V0 knobs.
PEM floating panel fasteners join a growing family of PEM threaded access hardware products.
