Features and Benefits
PEM Type TA™ Self-clinching microPEM® TackPin®
(3) 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. TackPin fastener use eliminates typical screw-related issues (including tapping, cross-threading, torque control, and vibration backout) and ultimately promotes quick and easy installation with minimal hardware. TackPin fasteners can provide a good alternative to welds or adhesives.Features and Benefits
- Micro sized for fastening within very compact designs.
- Attaches top sheets as thin as 0.2 mm / .008 in.
- Clinches into base panels as hard as HRB 45 / HB 84.
- Interference fit minimizes hole tolerance issues.
- Tapered tip assists location.
- Low-profile head provides cosmetic benefits.
- Replaces screws: eliminating costly tapping, cross threading, torque control, vibration backout and installation time.

PEM Type T4™ Self-clinching microPEM® TackPin® for Installing Into Stainless Steel
(2) New self-clinching microPEM® TackPin® (Type T4™)fasteners are ideal for installation into stainless steel and higher strength aluminum alloy sheets. They are for use in compact electronic assemblies enabling sheet-to-sheet attachment, replacing costly screw installation in applications where disassembly is not required. TackPin® fasteners eliminate typical screw-related issues (including tapping, cross-threading, torque control, and vibration backout) and ultimately promotes quick and easy installation with minimal hardware. TackPin® fasteners can provide a good alternative to welds or adhesives.Features and Benefits
- Advantages over micro screws: eliminates costly tapping, cross threading, torque control, vibration back-out and installation time.
- Interference fit minimizes hole tolerance issues.
- Tapered tip assists location.
- Low-profile head provides space savings.
- Can be installed automatically.
- For use in stainless steel and higher strength aluminum alloy sheets..
TFA microPEM® FLEXTACK FASTENERS
(4) The Bellville washer shaped head of the microPEM® FlexTack™ fastener is designed to increase vertical installation tolerance in designs.- Alternative to using micro-screws, eliminating the need to tap or use threaded inserts.
- Installation time to simply press the part in (1.5 seconds) is less than the time to thread a screw in equals less total installed cost.
- The Belleville-shaped head allows for stack-up tolerance relief in a design.
- Eliminates the following:
- Cost of screw, patch to prevent loosening, threaded insert or tapped hole and driver bits
- Cost of rework due to cross-threading or driver bit “cam-out”
