PEM fasteners profiled in detail include broaching nuts with permanent threads for board mounting or component attachment; threaded or unthreaded standoffs for stacking or spacing and flare-mounted standoffs for greater pullout performance; threaded studs for use as solderable connectors or as permanently mounted mechanical fasteners with external threads; Snap-Top all-metal standoffs featuring a spring action to hold a PC board securely without screws or threaded hardware; and one-piece board-mount screw assemblies with captive screws for easy mounting and removal of PC boards.

The latest bulletin further references two new products for use in any thin-sheet application.

Snap-In panel fasteners can be installed without tools and press-in panel fasteners allow for radial float to compensate for mating hole misalignment.
