PEM® surface mounted standoffs that eliminate the need for attaching screws

PEM® SMTSK™ standoffs are 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. These standoffs mount on PC Boards in the same manner and at the same time as other surface mount components prior to the automated reflow solder process.

  • Reduces scrap, handling and risk of board damage.
  • Unique barrel design allows for quick attachment and detachment.
  • Makes horizontal or vertical component mounting possible.
  • Provided on tape and reel compatible with existing SMT automated installation equipment.
