New self-clinching cable-tie hook designs provide a unique capability for users to temporarily remove (then return) tie-bundled wires from their mounting points
New self-clinching cable-tie hooks to hang bundled wires in an enclosure are now available from PEM Fastening Systems The new Type TDOT hook hardware joins the growing family of PEM self-clinching TY-DT cable-tie mounts designed to provide secure attachment points for mounting wires to electronic chassis or enclosures without the problems associated with traditional mounting methods

Autospec self-clinching fasteners are designed to reduce the number of parts needed for attachment, accelerate assembly, and promote neater and lighter component designs
The new hardware's "hook" feature provides a unique capability for users to temporarily remove (then return) tie-bundled wires from their mounting points (which is often necessary when wires block access to components for service or when wires must be replaced).
With the cable-tie hooks securely in place as designed, tie-bundled wires can simply be slipped off.
When the bundled wires are ready to be returned to their mounting points, they can be easily re-hanged on their hooks.
All this is accomplished without cutting or damaging the cable ties and with wires remaining wrapped.
As with other PEM self-clinching cable-tie mounting hardware, the new cable-tie hooks install permanently without screws to save production time and money; utilize no adhesives that can fail over time and temperature cycling; and promote EMI/RFI shielding and reduce the possibility of contamination by eliminating the need for any openings in an enclosure or chassis.
PEM Type TDO self-clinching cable-tie hooks are available in several sizes and can be installed in sheets as thin as.040"/1.02mm or as thick as.125"/3.18mm.
