SOA-6440-18 is a through-hole threaded self-clinching standoff designed for installation into aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less and a Brinell hardness of 82 or less. It features a .164-32 thread size, a head bore diameter of 0.040 inches, a nominal mounting hole size of 0.164 inches, and a minimum distance to edge of 0.27 inches. The part has a length of 0.562 inches and is made from hardened stainless steel. The SOA series is specifically engineered for aluminum applications, with the 6440 code indicating a thicker wall for increased bearing surface. The standoff installs flush to the sheet surface and permanently mounts via press-fit into thin metal sheets as thin as 0.025 inches.
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.
PEM® brand thru-hole threaded standoffs are installed with their heads flush with one surface of the mounting sheet.
