A family of fasteners from PEM Europe consists of self-clinching types for permanent installation into metal sheets and ReelFast SMT surface mount versions for permanent installation onto printed circuit boards.
R'ANGLE clinch fasteners for metal can serve as replacements for conventional bent edge tabs, bent centre tabs, bent flanges, angle brackets, or tack welds.R'ANGLE surface mount fasteners for printed circuit boards eliminate the usual requirements for angle brackets or threaded right-angle blocks.
For metal assemblies Type RAA aluminium clinch fasteners install in aluminium sheets as thin as 1mm and accept thread-forming screws in sizes #4-40, #6-32, #8-32, and M3 and M4.Type RAS steel threaded fasteners are offered in similar dimensions..A single mating screw completes the component attachment process. Holding power of the fastener, it is claimed, will be unaffected by any tightening or loosening of the screw.
ReelFast SMT fasteners are designed to mount board to chassis, chassis to board, or component to board.They install at the edge or interior of boards in the same manner and at the same time as other surface mount components prior to the automated reflow solder process.
Detailed specifications, Cad models, installation animations, and performance data for these RoHS-compliant fasteners can be accessed online.
