SO-series through-hole threaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for permanent installation in metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm, with the head seating flush after clinching. The SO-M3-16ZI variant features an M3 thread with a 16-length code, corresponding to a total length of 25 mm, and is suitable for installation in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less. It has a minimum hole size of 4.22 mm and requires a minimum distance of 4.8 mm from the hole center to the edge of the sheet. The part includes a zinc-iron (ZI) finish for corrosion resistance.
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.
PEM® brand thru-hole threaded standoffs are installed with their heads flush with one surface of the mounting sheet.
