(14)PEM Type MPP, self-clinching microPEM® pins are ideal for today’s compact electronic assemblies. Simply pressed into a properly sized mounting hole, these micro pins clinch permanently into place. They can be installed into a variety of sheet materials up to HRB 92/HB 195 in hardness and they offer excellent corrosion resistance.
Features and Benefits
Satisfy demanding micro positioning and alignment applications.
PEM Type MSO4 self-clinching microPEM® standoffs are used to stack or space internal components and provide strong, permanent, and reusable load-bearing threads in metal sheets as thin as .012” / 0.3mm. Thread sizes have been developed as small as M1 and available unified fastener lengths are .094” and .125” and 2mm and 3mm in metric.
Become integral parts of an assembly by clinching permanently in place.
New self-clinching microPEM® TackPin® (Type T™) fasteners for compact electronic assemblies enable sheet-to-sheet attachment, replacing costly screw installation in applications where disassembly is not required. Their use eliminates typical screwrelated issues (including tapping, cross-threading, torque control, and vibration backout) and ultimately promotes quick and easy installation with minimal hardware. TackPin fasteners can also provide a good alternative to welds or adhesives.Type-TA-microPEM-TackPin-Fasteners.JPG
(2)New self-clinching, threaded microPEM® TackScrew™ (Type TS™) fasteners enable cost effective sheet-to-sheet attachment, by simply pressing into place. The TackScrew™ fastener securely attaches a top sheet or panel to the base material. TackScrew fasteners can be removed by simply unscrewing similar to other threaded fasteners.
Features and Benefits
Simple, press-in installation for secure attachment
Replaces micro screws, eliminating installation issues including: – Cost of locking patch – Cost of threaded insert or tapped hole – Cost of driver bits – Cost of rework due to cross-threading and driver bit “cam-out”
Can be installed automatically for high volume application.
Twists out (unscrew) if removal is necessary.Can be reinstalled one time using a thread locking adhesive.
(30)For attachment of thin sheets to plastics, common casting materials and other similar base materials.
Also available in micro sizes, which are ideal for compact electronics.
Features and Benefits
Secure sheets to common magnesium die casting materials such as AZ91D. Also appropriate for attaching panels to plastics such as ABS.
Alternative to screws, eliminating the need to tap or use threaded inserts.
Tapered tip for easier alignment into base panel.
Top sheet can be any material.
Low-profile head.
Simple, press-in installation. Does not require heat or ultrasonics.
The microPEM® ClampDisk® fastener presses straight onto a 1 mm pin to replace threads, adhesive, rivets and other small fasteners. The upward flanges of the disk grip onto the pin and prevent push-off while the downward flanges flex and generate clamp load.
