New patented microPEM® TackPin® Type T4™ self-clinching fasteners have been introduced by PennEngineering® as ideal hardware solutions for installation into stainless steel or higher-strength aluminum alloy sheets. This latest addition to the microPEM family of fasteners enables sheet-to-sheet attachment for a wide range of applications in compact electronic assemblies wherever disassembly will not be required. They offer tangible benefits over micro screws by eliminating typical screw-related issues, including costly tapping, cross threading, torque control, and vibration back-out, and further provide designers with practical alternatives to welds or adhesives. Ultimately, microPEM Type T4 fasteners will promote quick and cost-effective installation, even automatically for high volume applications, using minimal hardware.(…)
