SO™ series through-hole unthreaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for permanent installation in metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm, providing spacing for multi-panel assemblies. These standoffs install into round holes with a press fit and are compatible with steel or aluminum sheets meeting specified hardness levels, with no internal thread. Dimensions vary by length, and the minimum distance from the hole center to sheet edge is 0.23 inches for SO-440. The series supports custom lengths and optional nickel plating for corrosion resistance in stainless steel applications.
These standoffs, which use the proven self-clinching design, install with a squeeze in properly sized round holes - and become permanently mounted in the thin sheet.
Unthreaded standoffs are also available for spacing multi-panel assemblies.
If you require a standoff which we do not offer in this bulletin, please contact us. We will be happy to work with you to satisfy your special need.
