The SOS-M3-5-18 is a thru-hole threaded standoff from PennEngineering® designed for permanent installation in metal sheets as thin as 0.025 inches (0.63 mm). It utilizes a self-clinching design, allowing it to be pressed into properly sized round holes. This standoff is suitable for use in steel or aluminum sheets with a hardness of Rockwell B scale 70 or less. The SOS type is specifically recommended for applications requiring a robust fastening solution in less rigid materials. The standoff is made from hardened stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosion, especially when nickel plating is applied. It is important to ensure compatibility with the specific sheet thickness and material hardness for optimal performance.
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.
PEM® brand thru-hole threaded standoffs are installed with their heads flush with one surface of the mounting sheet.
