Self-clinching fasteners

Range of PEM® self-clinching fasteners is continuously expanding to follow the customer needs: new products, new sizes are developed and new materials are used for existing fasteners. Non-exhausting summary of PEM® fasteners gives an overview from the most conventional fasteners as nuts or studs to more specific parts.
 

Self-clinching fasteners for sheet metals

The most widespread usage of PEM® fasteners is installing into metal sheets. For your application you can find the appropriate type of nuts, studs, standoffs, panel fasteners are made from different materials with different finishes.

Self-clinching fasteners for stainless steel sheets

Contrary to the beliefs, self-clinching fasteners made from stainless steel material are not surely suitable for installing into stainless steel metal sheets. For these applications PEM® range contains heat-treated stainless steel self-clinching fasteners.​​​​​​​
