Fasteners fix PC boards fast
An updated 12-page product bulletin available from PennEngineering Fastening Technologies profiles the complete line of PEM fasteners for use in or with PC boards.
"Bulletin K" reviews relevant specs for all types, which are available in a wide range of sizes to help attach printed circuit boards and acrylic and polycarbonate components.
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; self-expanding Foilgard fasteners to ensure positive contact with plated through-holes; and one-piece board-mount screw assemblies with captive screws for easy mounting and removal of PC boards.
The latest bulletin further references the newest products for use in any thin-sheet application.
Snap-In panel fasteners can be installed without tools and floating panel fasteners allow for radial float to compensate for mating hole misalignment.
"Bulletin K" can be downloaded free in PDF format from the PennEngineering Fastening Technologies website.
