The SOA series consists of through-hole unthreaded self-clinching standoffs designed for permanent installation in metal sheets as thin as 0.63 mm, providing spacing for multi-panel assemblies. These standoffs are recommended for aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or less and are made from hardened stainless steel. The part number SOA-6116-18 is not explicitly listed, but the series includes standoffs with length codes in 32nds of an inch, and the SOA variant is distinct by its unthreaded barrel and compatibility with softer aluminum sheets.
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
