Types of fasteners

Types TA™/T4™ microPEM® TackPin® fasteners

Enable sheet-to-sheet attachment, replacing costly screw installation in applications where disassembly is not required.

Features:

  • Simple, press-in installation for secure attachment
  • Proven self-clinching technology resists vibrational loosening
  • 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
  • Top sheet can be any material
  • Can be installed automatically
  • Twists out (unscrew) if removal is necessary. Can be reinstalled one time using a thread locking adhesive.

Type MPP™ microPEM® pins

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:

  • Satisfy demanding micro positioning and alignment applications
  • Head mounts flush into panels as thin as 0,5mm / .02
  • Chamfered end makes mating hole alignment easy
  • Can be installed into stainless steel sheets
  • Can be installed automatically
  • Excellent corrosion resistance

Type MSO4™ microPEM® self-clinching standoffs

Designed for mounting and/or spacing in extremely limited space applications.

Features:

  • Designed for mounting and/or spacing in extremely limited space applications
  • Can be installed into stainless steel sheets
  • Have stronger threads than weld standoffs because they are made from heat-treated 400 Series Stainless Steel
  • Can be installed automatically
TackSert

Types TKA™/TK4™ microPEM® TackSert® pins

Designed with diagonal knurl to hold a top panel to a bottom panel or chassis by broaching into the bottom panel/chassis. Type TKA pins are suitable for broaching into plastic applications, and Type TK4 pins are suitable for broaching into castings and brittle materials.

Features:

  • Secure panels to common cast materials such as magnesium and aluminum. Also appropriate for attaching panels to plastics such as ABS and to P.C. Boards.
  • Simple, press-in installation. Does not require heat or ultrasonics.
  • Alternative to micro screws, eliminating the need to tap or use threaded inserts
  • Top sheet can be any material
  • Low-profile head
  • Eliminates the following:
    • Cost of screw
    • Cost of patch to prevent loosening
    • 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
SMTSO

Type SMTSO™ microPEM® surface mount fasteners

These fasteners for compact electronic assemblies attach to P.C. Boards for nut/standoff applications. These fasteners mount on P.C. Boards in the same manner and at the same time as other surface mount components prior to the automated reflow solder process.

Features:

  • Hex shaped barrel provides optimal size/performance
  • Provided on tape and reel
  • Reduces board handling
  • Can be installed automatically
TackScrew

Type TS4™ microPEM® TackScrew™ fasteners

Enable cost effective sheet-to-sheet attachment by simply pressing into place. Can be removed by simply unscrewing, similar to other threaded fasteners.

Features:

  • Simple, press-in installation for secure attachment
  • Proven self-clinching technology resists vibrational loosening
  • 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”
  • Top sheet can be any material
  • Can be installed automatically
  • Twists out (unscrew) if removal is necessary. Can be reinstalled one time using a thread locking adhesive.
