KFSE-M3-4 is a metric broaching standoff designed for installation into non-plated holes in printed circuit boards, providing a permanent threaded attachment point. The fastener features a knurled shank with axial grooves that cut into the board material to create an interference fit resistant to rotation, and is compatible with M3 thread size. It is intended for use with materials including PCBs, aluminum, acrylic, casting, and polycarbonate. Installation requires a punch and anvil tool with specified PEMSERTER® tooling, and the minimum hole size is 3 mm. The maximum board thickness for this variant is 1.53 mm. The part is not recommended for plated holes due to risk of plating damage or trace breakage.
No matter how sophisticated or advanced, electronic components must be attached reliably and securely if they are to deliver optimum performance. We offer several fastener products for use with PC boards to satisfy component-to-board, board-to-board, and board-to-chassis attachment needs.
Broaching fasteners can also offer practical alternatives to “loose” hardware. They install permanently in all types of PC boards, as well as aluminum, acrylic, casting and polycarbonate components. A broaching fastener is a knurled-shank fastening device that can be pressed into a hole to provide a strong threaded or unthreaded attachment point in non-metal materials. Specially formed axial grooves around the shank of the fastener “broach” or cut into the material, creating a firm, interference-type fit resistant to rotation.
