TKA-10-200 is a microPEM TackSert pin designed for press-in attachment of thin sheets to plastics such as ABS, with a base panel hole size of 1 mm, top sheet thickness of 1.2 mm, and length of 2 mm. It features a tapered tip for alignment, a low-profile head, and requires no heat or ultrasonics for installation. The pin is made of aluminum and suitable for base materials with hardness below HRB 80 / HB 150. The minimum centerline-to-edge distance is 1.18 mm, and the depth of engagement is 0.8 mm. Performance data shows a pullout force of 35 N (8 lbs) in polycarbonate and 19 N (4 lbs) in ABS when installed in a 1.2 mm thick top sheet. The pin is applicable in both through-hole and blind-hole configurations, with a minimum blind hole depth of 1 mm.
New microPEM® TackSert (Type TK) diagonal knurl inserts aredesigned to hold a top panel to a bottom panel or chassis by broaching into thebottom panel/chassis. Type TKA (aluminum) inserts are suitable for broaching intoplastic applications, and Type TK4 (400 series stainless steel) inserts are suitable forbroaching into metal applications with a hardness below HRB 80 / HB 150.
