PC Board Non-Threaded Standoff Application Notes:

• The broaching type standoffs are identical to industry standards, which mean they can be fed through standard automatic insertion equipment. This can significantly reduce assembly costs.

• These industrial fasteners are designed for use in unplated thru-holes. When installed in plated thru-holes, a hole tolerance of +.005” -.001” (+.13mm -.03mm) is recommended. When used in plated thru-holes the performance of the standoff may be reduced and the hole plating may be damaged by the standoff’s knurl.

• Depending on thread size, the broaching type standoff provides push-out performance of between 65 pounds and 85 pounds. Torque-out performance will be between 14 pounds and 29 pounds.

For applications that require the use of stacked assemblies, the broaching type standoff will provide robust mechanical connections between the individual layers of the overall assembly. Monroe JHP can offer you a full selection of these industrial fasteners from our well-stocked inventory.
