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-8632-12 variant has a thread code of 8632, indicating a #6-32 thread size and a length of 0.375 in (9.5 mm), and installs into sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.050 in (1.27 mm). It requires a hole diameter of 0.050 in (1.27 mm) and a minimum distance from the hole center to the sheet edge of 0.31 in (7.9 mm). The standoff's barrel end features clinching teeth for grounding performance. This part is rated for use in aluminum sheets with a maximum hardness of HRB 50 or HB 82.
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.
