Stainless steel PEM TK TackSert pins from PennEngineering attach thin panels in assemblies

New stainless steel PEM® TK™TackSert® pins from PennEngineering® can securely attach panels of any material to base panels manufactured from common casting materials or plastics.

The pins eliminate the need for mating threads from tapped holes or inserts, as well as patches intended to prevent fastener loosening in service. A tapered tip assists in pin location to enable alignment into a base panel. A diagonal broaching knurl instead of threads creates a firm interference fit without hole-tolerance issues, and a low-profile head minimizes protrusion on the attached panel.

The pins are offered in a variety of lengths and can attach sheets with thicknesses from 0.067 to 0.185 in., depending on pin length.
