PEM® FASTENERS
The innovation behind PEM® fasteners can add value and long-term cost savings to your defense and military requirements. Our portfolio is one of the largest and most diverse in the industry.
Nuts
Nuts with thread strengths greater than mild steel screws – commonly used wherever strong internal threads are needed for component attachment or fabrication assembly Studs Threaded and unthreaded fasteners used where attachment must be positioned before being fastened
Standoffs
Used where it is necessary to stack or space components away from the panel – thru-threaded and blind types are typically standard Panel Fasteners Generally used on enclosures where screw must remain with the door or panel PC Board Fasteners Fasteners that utilize surface-mount, broaching and flaring technology for use with PCB applications
Micro Fasteners
Thinner, lighter, stronger fasteners – ideal for micro applications in electronics systems COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) Numerous parts available
LIGHTER. SMALLER.
STRONGER.
As the complexity of defense and aero- space applications grows, so does the need for lighter, smaller, and stronger fastening solutions – especially for electronics applications. PEM® fasteners and our extensive portfolio of microPEM® products have become a critical piece of electronics architecture across many industries. It's a combination that delivers optimum performance where it’s needed most – particularly in compact spaces where traditional micro screws tend to increase assembly time and total costs. • Military Electronics • Radar • Satellites • Connectors • Drones • Wearables • And More...

EXPERTISE TO TAKE YOU FURTHER
PEM* Self clinching technology has revolutionized production fastening and put  us on the map as a global industry leader. It’s a clean, energy-smart alternative to conventional fastening methods like spot weld – with proven performance in the most challenging defense and aerospace applications.
How Self-Clinching Works
When pressed into ductile material, a self clinching fastener displaces the host material around the mounting hole, causing it to cold flow into a specially designed annular recess in the shank or pilot of the fastener. A serrated clinching ring, knurl, ribs, or hex head prevents fastener rotation in the host material once inserted – becoming a permanent part of the piece into which it’s installed. Self clinching Strength – Stronger threads vs. a tapped panel In-Process Installation – Parts are installed into a plain round hole with no secondary operations required Cost Reduction – Decreased installation cycle times with high-speed installation options Design Flexibility – Can be installed into dissimilar materials Clean Process – Environmentally friendly, with no weld splatter and less energy requirements Learn more about self clinching technology or compare self clinching vs. weld.
