The TK4-10-250 microPEM® TackSert® Pin is a stainless steel fastener designed for securely attaching thin panels to various materials, including plastics and magnesium die castings like AZ91D. This pin features a tapered tip that facilitates alignment during installation and a low-profile head that minimizes protrusion. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only a press-in method without the need for heat or ultrasonic tools, making it suitable for automated applications. The pin is engineered to provide a reliable alternative to traditional screws, eliminating issues such as tapping and cross-threading. It is important to note that the minimum base panel thickness for effective engagement is specified, and performance testing in the intended application is recommended to ensure optimal results.
New microPEM® TackSert™ (Type TK™) pins are designed with a diagnol knurl to hold a top panel to a bottom panel or chassis by broaching into the bottom panel/chassis. Type TKA (aluminum) pins are suitable for broaching into plastic applications, and Type TK4 (400 series stainless steel) pins are suitable for broaching into castings and brittle materials.
• Secure panels to common magnesium die casting materials such as AZ91D. Also appropriate for attaching panels to plastics such as ABS.
• Simple, press-in installation. Does not require heat or ultrasonics.
• Alternative to micro screws, eliminating many of the costs associated with threaded hardware.
• Top sheet can be any material.
• Low profile head.
