PEM® self-clinching blind nuts from PennEngineering® permanently install into thin metal sheets to provide reliable and re-usable metal threads for accepting mating screws and completing final component attachment in an assembly. Their “blind,” closed-end design effectively creates a barrier to protect the nut’s threads against foreign matter and to prevent potential damage to internal components…
Solving Assembly Challenges in Reduced Footprint Applications
Smaller, lighter, and thinner electronic devices and their inherently restrictive design envelopes present several challenges on the road to their assembly and manufacture. Hardware for component attachment must perform reliably, despite the shrinking and limited footprints for fastener placement and installation. In addition, designers face reduced parts counts for weight savings and production economies. An entirely…
