ReelFast® PEM® Fastening Solutions for PC Boards

Reduce Scrap, Handling, and Risk of PC Board Damage
Optimum product performance comes from the secure attachment of your electronic components. PEM® offers a comprehensive line of fastening solutions for use with PC boards to satisfy component-to-board, board-to-board, and board-to-chassis attachment needs.

ReelFast® Surface Mount Fasteners

PEM® surface mount technology (SMT) fasteners mount on PC boards and use the same soldering processes as the board’s other electronic components.

• Eliminates common productivity and damage issues caused by loose fastening hardware and broaching fasteners

• Supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for easy pick-and-place assembly

• Excellent pullout and torque-out forces

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
