SOA™ unthreaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for mounting, spacing, or stacking panels in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less, or Brinell hardness of 82 or less. They install permanently into round holes as thin as 0.025 in (0.63 mm) and feature a standard barrel profile suitable for flush mounting. These standoffs are made from hardened stainless steel with an optional nickel plating for corrosion resistance. Dimensions and minimum edge distances vary by thread size, with common sizes including M3, M3.5, M4, and M5. All SOA variants require a minimum hole size of 0.040 in (1.02 mm) and a minimum distance to edge of 0.187 in (4.8 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.
Unthreaded standoffs are also available for spacing multi-panel assemblies.
