The SOS-M4-12 is a through-hole threaded self-clinching standoff in the PEM® SO series, designed for permanent installation in metal sheets. It features an M4 x 0.7 thread, a nominal length of 12 mm, and is suitable for clinching into stainless steel sheets with a maximum Rockwell B hardness of 88 or Brinell hardness of 183. The part has a minimum hole size of 4.8 mm and requires a minimum distance of 7.9 mm from the hole center to the sheet edge. It is available with an optional nickel plating for corrosion resistance, indicated by the NC suffix, though this variant is not specified for SOS-M4-12. The standoff installs flush with the sheet surface and provides a threaded bore for component mounting.
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.
