PEM® self-clinching flush-head studs integrating unique X-Press™ threads enable quick mating with push-on plastic nuts, wire tie products, or other plastic fasteners in thin metal assemblies. Their coarse thread design – larger threads relative to the stud's diameter – reduces assembly time by allowing for easy mating of plastic parts and promotes especially high retention force of the stud upon installation. The thread design additionally accommodates paints and coatings without compromising fastener performance in service.

PEM® ReelFast® surface mount captive panel screws install permanently on printed circuit boards to provide secure attachment and allow for subsequent access whenever necessary. These all-metal captive screw assemblies mount in one piece on boards using the pick-and-place method and will install in the same manner and at the same time as other surface mount components prior to the automated reflow solder process.

The new PEM® VariMount™ fastening system utilizes proven self-clinching technology paired with a round steel or stainless steel base plate to offer a clean and ready-made assembly for mounting into any rigid material or panel, including composites, plastics, and metals. Multiple radial holes in the base plate and a generous footprint combine to promote effective mounting of the assembly.

PEM®self-clinching captive panel screws can satisfy a wide range of application requirements including limited space applications, low-profile design, limited access areas, high corrosion resistance, tool or hand actuated, long screw projection for thicker panels, installation into printed circuit boards, and flush mounted.
