The SOA™ series provides through-hole unthreaded self-clinching standoffs designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels in steel or aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or less or HB 82 or less. These standoffs install permanently into sheets as thin as 0.63 mm and are made from hardened stainless steel. The part SOA-6116-16, if part of the SOA series, shares the standard dimensions and installation requirements for this family, including a minimum hole size of 0.050 in (1.27 mm), a minimum distance to edge of 0.31 in (7.9 mm), and a barrel length ranging from 0.125 in to 1.062 in (3.17 mm to 27 mm) in 1/32 in increments. The series is not designed for clinching into stainless steel sheets without optional nickel plating.
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.
Standoffs with thread codes offer greater wall thickness
