Specifications for blind fasteners reviewed

A PennEngineering product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 31, 2002

Self-clinching blind fasteners, designed to provide barriers that protect threads against foreign matter and protect circuits from intrusion of extra-long screws, are described in a new leaflet

An updated four-page product bulletin profiling PEM self-clinching blind fasteners is now available from PEM Fastening Systems.

These fasteners are designed to provide barriers that protect threads against foreign matter and protect circuits from intrusion of extra-long screws.

The updated "Bulletin B" reviews specifications, performance data, and the installation procedure for these blind-type fasteners, which employ the unique self-clinching design enabling their permanent installation in thin metal sheets.

The fasteners act as their own pilot and, being round, do not require indexing.

These steel (Type B) and stainless steel (Type BS) fasteners can provide permanently mounted blind threads in metal sheets as thin as .040"/1mm and are available in thread sizes from #4-40 through 1/4-20 and M3 through M6.

Blind fasteners in each thread size are offered in two different shank lengths to meet the specifications of those design engineers who want panel holes refilled as much as possible.
