The SOA series consists of through-hole unthreaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels in sheet metal applications. These standoffs install permanently into steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less and Brinell hardness of 82 or less. They are pressed into round holes as thin as 0.63 mm and retain a flush, closed-end appearance after installation. The series supports standardized lengths and is suitable for multi-panel assemblies requiring non-threaded posts. The SOA designation indicates the variant is optimized for aluminum substrates.
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.
