SOAG™ grounding standoffs are self-clinching, unthreaded fasteners designed for clinching into steel or aluminum sheets, with grounding teeth on the barrel end to ensure electrical contact with a mating PC board. The SOAG-6440-8 variant is specified for use in aluminum sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 50 or HB 82, and has a length of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm). It is installed in a minimum hole size of 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) and requires a minimum distance of 0.31 inch (7.9 mm) from the hole center to sheet edge. The standoff has a barrel diameter of 0.213 inch (5.41 mm) and features a standard clinching profile. The part designation indicates a #4-40 thread size and 5/32 inch length code, as defined by the series' nomenclature.
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.
Types SOAG and SOSG grounding standoffs are designed for clinching into steel or aluminum chassis while the “gripping teeth” on the opposite end of the standoff firmly contact mating PC board.
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.
For special lengths greater than .500”, Types SOSG and SOAG are blind threaded.
