Patented cable tie hooks hold their ground
1 min read
A self-clinching cable tie-hook from PEM remains securely fixed in place where installed to provide permanent attachment points for mounting wires and cables inside electronic chassis or enclosures. The patented product installs quickly without requiring screws or adhesives and their locations and positions can be specified during the design process to provide optimal layout for wires and cables inside assemblies.
PEM Type TDO cable tie-hooks are part of a growing family of self-clinching hardware solutions that have been engineered to resolve bundled-wire challenges in electronic equipment. They can be supplied in several sizes for installation in metal sheets as thin as 1.02mm and as thick as 3.18mm.
The hooks enable tie-bundled wires to be attached, removed, and returned to mounting points when components need to be accessed for service or when wires or cables must be replaced. The hook feature allows ties to remain intact and wires to remain wrapped. This feature can also serve as a guide and a mount for lengths of cable or tubing.
On installation of the hooks, panels on the reverse side of installation remain entirely flush without any spaces or openings, which adds value by minimising EMI/RFI and preventing any potential contamination of electronics by dust or dirt.
Detailed specifications, CAD models, and performance data (Bulletin TD) for these and other RoHS-compliant wire mount fasteners can be accessed on the company website.
