Micro-Fit+ Connector System
PEM® brand captive panel screws are designed to help keep parts to a minimum and eliminate risks associated with loose hardware that could fall out and damage components.
Captive panel fasteners are ideal to attach metal panels or other thin material components in applications where subsequent access will be necessary.
Benefits
- Faster assembly
- Reduced scrap
- Reduced handling
- Reduced rick of board damage
Applications
Electronic Steering Control Module:
Circuit board standoffs to hold steering control board. SMTSOB ™ Standof
Original parts specified for the project were broaching standoffs from a competitor. PEM® SMTSO™ standoff was offered as an alternative because it would allow for faster production. The fabricator liked the concept and lobbied the OEM to change its design. The PEM® parts were approved and specified in the updated design, even though they were more expensive, as the total installed cost was lower.
EV Fast Charging Station: SMTSOB™ Standoff
Originally the application used PEM® steel SMTSO™ standoffs, but the customer needed a more conductive material that didn’t overheat. The SMTSOB™ series was able to meet the customer requirements. The SMTSOB™ standoffs are used to mount the PC boards and for spacing the PC boards.
This EV charging station is primarily aimed for use at motorway service stations and petrol stations.

Fuel quantity indicator: SMTSO™ Standoff.
The customer is using four surface mount standoffs to separate two FR4 printed circuit boards of an Indicator housing. The SMTSO™ style allows the customer to install the standoffs closer to the edge of the board than would have been possible with a broaching standoff with no risk of damage to the board. By using the SMTSO™ standoff, the customer also eliminated the secondary broaching process
