SOAG grounding standoffs are self-clinching threaded fasteners designed for clinching into steel or aluminum sheets, with grounding/earthing teeth on the barrel end to ensure electrical contact with a mating PCB. The SOAG-8632-16 variant has a .138-32 thread, a length of 0.500 inch, and installs into sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.050 inch and a minimum hole size of 0.050 inch. It is recommended for use in aluminum sheets with a hardness of HRB 50 or less and can be installed with a minimum edge distance of 0.31 inch. The part features a knurled head for flush mounting and is made from hardened stainless steel.
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.
