Product Description
The PEM® BSOS-440-30 is an extended, maximum-length unified blind threaded standoff designed to create deep structural separation within thin sheet metal chassis. Utilizing a field-proven self-clinching design, the fastener drops seamlessly into a properly sized round hole and installs permanently with a standard squeezing force, cold-flowing the host metal to achieve superior torque-out and pushout resistance without the thermal stress of welding. Its blind-threaded (closed) cavity ensures that the opposite side of the sheet metal remains completely flush and unmarred, providing a flawless cosmetic exterior while acting as a dust-tight, environmental barrier. Manufactured from high-grade 300 Series Stainless Steel, it delivers high mechanical durability and long-term corrosion protection, making it ideal for deep-stack server enclosures, medical imaging platforms, telecommunications routing hubs, and aerospace sub-assemblies.
Self-Clinching Integration: Mounts permanently under standard pressing tools, eliminating loose secondary hardware, tapping, or structural welding.
Closed-Bottom Blind Pocket: Guarantees an unbroken, flat exterior panel surface while keeping the internal thread chamber tightly sealed from outside debris or airflow.
300 Series Stainless Steel: Engineered from premium stainless steel to ensure high structural strength and superior defense against rust and corrosion.
Substantial Stacking Clearance: Supplies an exact 0.937-inch physical standoff height, perfect for isolating multi-tier printed circuit boards or heavy sub-assemblies.
