PEM® SNAP-TOP® SSS™ standoffs are self-clinching fasteners designed for permanent installation into metal panels or PC boards, using spring action to secure components while allowing quick removal without screws. This carbon steel variant has a zinc plating per ASTM B633, SC1 (5µm), Type III, colorless, plus clear chromate, and is available in a 16-length code (0.500 inches). It requires a mounting hole diameter of 0.188 inches and is specified for panel thicknesses from 0.040 to 0.070 inches, with a maximum pushout force of 200 lbs. The finish is corrosion-resistant and suitable for applications requiring low-part-count assembly and reduced risk of circuit damage from loose hardware.
PEM SNAP-TOP® Standoffs (Types SSA, SSS, SSC) are designed for permanent installation into metal panels or PC boards.
These all-metal standoffs use a spring action to hold PC boards and subassemblies securely, while allowing for quick removal. Screws and other threaded hardware are eliminated. This means less parts to handle during assembly and less risk of damaging delicate circuitry because of loose parts falling into your equipment.
These standoffs are permanently installed in the panel by squeezing them into a properly sized hole using any standard press.
