SOA™ unthreaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels in aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or HB 82 or less. They install permanently into round holes in sheet metal as thin as 0.63 mm and feature a smooth, flush head for aesthetic applications. The part number SOA-6116-6 corresponds to a length code of 16 (0.500 inches) with a nominal thread size of #6-32, and a minimum hole size of 0.050 inches. The standoff has a minimum distance to edge of 0.31 inches and a barrel diameter of 0.281 inches. A nickel plating option is available for corrosive environments. The product is certified for use in aluminum sheets only.
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.
