 | Keyhole® Self-Clinching Standoffs Type SKC - Unified PEM® KEYHOLE® Standoffs (Type SKC™) is designed so that a PC board or panel can be
quickly slipped into place and then removed from an assembly by simply sliding the board sideways and lifting it off. Type SKC can be used for spacing
or hanging of replaceable components. Typically, several SKC standoffs are used with one standard PEM threaded standoff which
accepts a screw to secure the board or component against any unwanted movement.
Type SKC - Allows detachable spacing of two sheets
Clinch feature mounts fastener permanently into metal sheet.
Unique barrel design allows for quick attachment and detachment.
Head is flush with one side of metal sheet.
Makes horizontal or vertical component mounting possible. |

 | Snap-Top Standoff for Broaching into PC Boards - Unified PEM SNAP-TOP® Standoffs are designed for permanent installation into metal
panels or PC boards.
These all-metal standoffs use a spring action to hold PC boards and subassemblies securely, while allowing
for quick removal. Screws and other threaded hardware are eliminated. This means less parts to handle during
assembly and less risk of damaging delicate circuitry because of loose parts falling into your equipment.

 | Grounding Standoffs, Types SOSG and SOAG - Unified Can satisfy component-to-board, board-to-board, and board- to-chassis production fastening needs using less attachment hardware.
BROACHING FASTENERS
PEM broaching fasteners can be utilized with all types of PC boards, as well as with aluminum, acrylic, and polycarbonate components. They install simply, quickly, and permanently for secure and reliable attachment. Their use eliminates the need for washers, lock washers, nuts, and other excess hardware.
The PEM family of broaching fasteners includes broaching nuts (Types KF2 and KFS2) with permanent threads for board mounting or component attachment; threaded or unthreaded standoffs (Types KFE and KFSE) for stacking or spacing and flare mounted standoffs (Type KFB3) for greater pullout performance; threaded studs (Type KFH) for use as solderable connectors or as permanently mounted mechanical fasteners with external threads; all-metal standoffs (Type KSSB) featuring a spring action to hold a PC board securely without screws or threaded hardware; self-expanding FOILGARD® fasteners (Type KPS6) used in plated thru-holes in multi-layer PC Boards; and one-piece board-mount screw assemblies (Type PFK) with captive screws for easy mounting and removal of PC boards.
GROUNDING STANDOFFS
Grounding standoffs (Types SOAG and SOSG) are designed for clinching into steel or aluminum chassis. The opposite end of the standoff has ′′gripping teeth′′ to firmly contact mating PC board.
