Fastening Solutions for Automotive Electronics | Self-clinching fasteners from PEMⓇ

Above and Beyond the Ability of Traditional Screws

Traditional welded caged or anchor nuts and sheet metal screws can be an expensive option when considering the entire cost of your installation—and they can lengthen your time to market thanks to secondary operations and installation time.

PEM^Ⓡ TK4™TackSert^Ⓡ Pins, B™ Self-clinching Blind Fasteners and THFE™ Heavy Duty Studs are just a few of our fasteners that are commonly used in automotive electronics applications to provide a better alternative as a stronger, cleaner, more reliable solution for your automotive electronic applications.

Go stronger, cleaner, more reliable

Stronger threads vs. a tapped panel, along with flexible design capabilities for applications using dissimilar materials. Environmentally friendly, with no weld splatter and less energy requirements.

Permanently mounted blind threads in metal sheets as thin as .040”/1mm
Self-clinching nuts provide strong load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .8mm
