SOA™ through-hole unthreaded self-clinching standoffs are designed for permanent installation in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less, or Brinell hardness of 82 or less. They install into round holes with minimum diameters of 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) and require a minimum edge distance of 0.31 inch (7.9 mm). The standoff barrel has a closed end to allow flush mounting, and lengths range from 0.125 inch to 1.062 inch. Series variants are made from hardened stainless steel and are available in standard thread sizes including #10-32 and M5. The SOA series does not include threaded barrels.
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.
