SO-M3-6ZI is a through-hole threaded self-clinching standoff intended for installation in metal sheets using a press-fit method. It has an M3 thread with a length code of 6, corresponding to 4.8 mm, and is designed for use in materials with hardness up to HRB 80 or HB 150. The part features a flush-mounted head and installs into a minimum hole size of 4.22 mm with a minimum distance of 6 mm from the hole center to the sheet edge. A ZI suffix indicates nickel plating for corrosion resistance. The standoff is part of the SO series, which includes variants for steel, aluminum, and stainless steel sheets, with this unit optimized for general-purpose applications in non-stainless metals. The part installs permanently into sheets as thin as 0.63 mm.
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.
