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-8632-8 variant has a 0.138-32 thread size, a length of 0.250 in (6.35 mm), and installs into a minimum hole size of 0.050 in (1.27 mm) with a minimum distance to edge of 0.31 in (7.9 mm). It is intended for use in aluminum sheets with hardness up to HRB 50 or HB 82. The part features a knurled head for close-to-edge installation and includes grounding teeth on the barrel end for earthing applications.
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.
