Standoff fasteners enable spacing, stacking of multipanel assemblies

PEM® self-clinching standoff fasteners from PennEngineering® enable mounting, spacing, and stacking of panels, boards, and components in assemblies. This family of fasteners includes a range of types and styles designed for permanent installation into metal sheets as thin as 0.025 in.

Standoffs for sheet metal mount by pressing the fastener into a round hole and applying sufficient squeezing force with a PEMSERTER® or standard press. The fastener then becomes a permanent part of an assembly without risk of loosening or falling out and fulfills panel-spacing requirements using minimal hardware. For threaded versions, a single mating screw completes the attachment process.
