The MSO4 microPEM self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting and spacing in limited-space applications, installing permanently in metal sheets as thin as 0.016"/0.4mm. They provide reusable internal threads from M1 to M2 in size, with an installation force of 11.1 kN for all thread variants in 304 stainless steel. The maximum recommended tightening torque ranges from 0.019 N·m for M1 to 0.175 N·m for M2. Pushout forces range from 350 N for M1 to 500 N for M2, and torque-out values range from 0.15 N·m to 0.3 N·m depending on thread size. The standoffs are installed by pressing into the mounting hole with ultrasonic or thermal equipment and promote high reliability in compact electronics assemblies.
PEM Type MSO4 self-clinching microPEM® standoffs are used to stack or space internal components and provide strong, permanent, and reusable load-bearing threads in metal sheets as thin as .016” / 0.4mm. Thread sizes have been developed as small as M1 and available unified fastener lengths are .094” and .125” and 2mm and 3mm in metric.
