PEM standoff fasteners can be installed in metal sheets or PC boards as thin as 1mm.
They become a permanent part of an assembly to eliminate the risk of damage to circuitry that can occur when parts loosen and fall into components.
Bulletin SSA profiles the full line of PEM standoffs, including types SSA (aluminum), SSS (steel), and SSC (stainless steel) standoffs for clinching into metal sheets and type KSSB (brass) standoffs for broaching into PC boards.
The bulletin covers application data, specifications, and performance information for the entire Snap-Top line.
All PEM standoffs can be installed easily in sheets by squeezing them in a punched or drilled hole using a Pemserter or other standard press.
