PEM R’ANGLE self-clinching fasteners create right-angle attachment points in metal sheets as thin as .04 in. The aluminum fasteners come in self-tapping or steel threaded versions. They eliminate tab cutouts for better EMI/RFI shielding and time-consuming welding operations, material and assembly cost savings due to reduced hardware, and more attractive unmarred assemblies. Type RAA aluminum self-tapping fasteners for thin aluminum sheets accept thread-forming screws in sizes #4-40, #6-32, #8-32, and M3 and M4. Type RAS steel threaded fasteners for thin aluminum or steel sheets are available in thread sizes #4-40, #6-32, #8-32, and M3 and M4. Depending on type, maximum side loads for the fasteners upon installation can range up to 21 lbs.
