Self-clinching standoff fasteners stack and space
A free 12-page bulletin profiles PEM self-clinching standoff fasteners, which install permanently in metal sheets as thin as 0.63mm and enable components to be stacked or spaced in an assembly.
"Bulletin SO" covers self-clinching standoff fasteners designed for ultra-thin metal sheets (Types TSO, TSOS, and TSOA); through-hole, threaded, and unthreaded standoffs (Types SO, SON, SOA, and SOS); blind threaded standoffs (Types BSO, BSON, BSOA, and BSOS); and through-hole and blind threaded standoffs specially designed for installation into stainless-steel sheets (Types SO4 and BSO4).
Threaded types are offered in thread sizes 4-40 to 10-32 and M3 to M5.
PEM self-clinching standoffs are installed with their heads flush with one surface of the mounting sheet.
When blind-threaded types are used, outer sheet surfaces are both flush and closed.
Unthreaded self-clinching standoff fasteners are ideal for spacing multipanel assemblies.
Using a Pemserter press can ensure quick, reliable, and accurate fastener installation.
