PEM Offering New Type Flush-head Studs with X-Press™ Thread Profile

Product Updates, PEM

PennEngineering® is pleased to announce our latest development, the new Type Flush-head Studs with X-Press™ Thread Profile. These self-clinching, flush-head studs with X-Press™ threads, are typically used with push-on or other plastic fasteners. The coarse-thread design of the thread reduces assembly time and provides high retention force. PEM studs with X-Press™ threads are available with 5 mm and 6 mm metric threads. Lengths range from 10 mm to 25 mm.
