PEM Fastening Systems' Snap-Top all-metal standoffs designed to attach and accurately space PC boards and subassemblies without using screws or other threaded fastening hardware
PEM standoff fasteners can be installed in metal sheets or PC boards as thin as 1mm.
They become a permanent part of an assembly and eliminate the risk of circuitry damage that can occur when parts loosen and fall into components.
The product line includes Types SSA (aluminium), SSS (steel), and SSC (stainless steel) standoffs for clinching into metal sheets and Type KSSB (brass) standoffs for broaching into PC boards.
All PEM standoffs can be installed easily in sheets by squeezing them in a punched or drilled hole using a Pemserter press or other standard installation method.
