Self Clinch Standoffs

A Self-Clinching Standoff provides an excellent solution for mounting, spacing and stacking of boards and panels.

They provide strong captivated reusable female threads in a spacer format in thin sheets.

Utilising a hexagon head and a clinch feature, this fastener has excellent torque-out, pull-through  and push-out characteristics whilst providing a flush finish on the underside of the panel, requiring minimal  surface finishing after installation.

They are installed using a parallel squeezing action, so require access to both sides of  the panel.

Ease of assembly and quick removal are major reasons to specify Clinch Standoffs. They satisfy many functional and cosmetic requirements.

Threaded standoff bushes are an effective fastening element that serves as a spacer. A time-saving and simple assembly of workpieces, which have to be arranged at a certain distance from each other or parallel to each other, is made possible by this fastener.

They provide protection for fragile circuitry and electrical connections in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electrical assemblies. Self clinching standoffs eliminate the need for loose hardware on aftermarket components.

How Self Clinch Standoffs Work

Attached components are stacked on top of each other or distanced from the framework material by a standoff secured to a thin sheet metal chassis. These metal fasteners ensure safe grounding of electrical components and help reduce or eliminate hardware damage that can occur due to vibration and collision.
