Product Description
The PEM® BSOS-032-16 is a self-clinching blind threaded standoff designed for permanent installation into steel or aluminum sheets. Manufactured from durable 300 series stainless steel, this fastener delivers exceptional corrosion resistance for reliable performance in challenging environments. Its closed-end (blind) design provides a solid internal barrier that seals the assembly against contaminants like dust and moisture while protecting internal components by limiting screw penetration depth. When squeezed into a properly sized round hole using a standard press, the standoff integrates completely into the host chassis, providing high pushout and torque-out resistance with a head that remains flush with the mounting surface for a smooth, uniform exterior finish.
Corrosion Resistance: Fabricated from 300 series stainless steel to withstand harsh or demanding environmental conditions.
Environmental Sealing: The blind, closed-end construction prevents the passage of air, liquid, or debris through the mounting hole.
Flush-Mount Profile: Installs completely flush on the reverse side of the sheet for a clean, seamless exterior appearance.
Component Protection: The solid outer wall acts as a positive stop, preventing damage to sensitive circuitry from long screws.
High-Strength Attachment: Displaces host material into the clinching profile during installation to provide high torque-out and pushout performance.
