Standoffs streamline assembly time
The latest four-page product bulletin on PEM Keyhole self-clinching standoff fasteners is now available from PEM Fastening Systems.
Installed permanently for secure and reliable attachment, Keyhole standoffs promote quicker assembly and disassembly and can reduce the amount and types of loose hardware required in an application.
PEM Keyhole stainless-steel standoffs (Type SKC) can further prove useful for spacing or hanging replaceable components.
In these applications, several Keyhole standoffs typically are specified with one standard PEM threaded standoff, which accepts a screw to secure a board or component against any unwanted movement.
PEM Keyhole standoff fasteners are available in a wide range of unified and metric lengths for permanent installation in aluminium or steel sheets as thin as 1mm.
The fasteners can be installed easily using a Pemserter press or other standard method.
