Self-Clinching Blind Fasteners

The company offers an updated four-page product bulletin on PEM self-clinching blind fasteners. These fasteners are designed to provide barriers which protect threads against foreign matter and protect circuits from intrusion of extra-long screws.

These steel (Type B) and stainless steel (Type BS) fasteners provide permanently mounted blind threads in metal sheets as thin as .040 in./1 mm and are available in thread sizes from #4-40 through ¼-20 and M3 through M6. Blind fasteners in each thread size are available in two different shank lengths to meet the specifications of those design engineers who want panel holes refilled as much as possible.

The updated bulletin provides specifications, performance data, and installation procedure for PEM blind fasteners, which employ the self-clinching design. They act as their own pilot and, being round, do not require indexing.
