A new 20-page product bulletin, available online and in print, profiles PEM surface-mount and broaching fasteners designed specifically for use with PC boards. The various fastener products provide solutions to satisfy component-to-board, board-to-board and board-to-chassis attachment needs. Bulletin K includes a Quick Reference Chart (covering fastener types, mounting methods and primary uses) and provides detailed information and specifications on fastener materials, finishes, installation procedures and performance.

Profiled product ranges include Reelfast surface-mount fasteners (threaded or unthreaded nuts and standoffs, captive panel screws and R’Angle right-angle fasteners); broaching fasteners (internally threaded nuts, threaded or unthreaded standoffs, threaded studs, panel fastener assemblies and spring-action Snop-Top standoffs), broach-/flare-mounted standoffs (offering greater pullout performance); and Spotfast clinch-/broach-mount fasteners (for joining metal to printed-circuit-board/plastic panels).

Reelfast fasteners 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 and simply become another board component. Broaching fasteners install into all types of PC boards and aluminium, acrylic, casting or polycarbonate components and create a firm, interference-type fit resistant to rotation. All types of these RoHS-compliant fasteners eliminate the problems associated with loose hardware.
