Self-clinching Pcb Fasteners

All Broaching Fasteners for PCBs install into a round hole, which may be drilled in non-ductile materials. Broaching Fasteners are pressed into printed circuit boards and non-ductile materials that are held permanently in place by an interference fit.

Common types of Self Broaching Fasteners:
Nuts, Studs, Stand-offs

CKF2 and CKFS2 Broaching - Type Fasteners are designed for use on printed circuit boards and on most brittle or hard materials: glass laminates, epoxy or resin with paper, nylon, or canvas bases. They are also used on materials too thin or unsuitable for threading, such as acrylic and polycarbonate panels.

Since the aforementioned materials do not flow under pressure, these fasteners are designed with a knurled shank that can be pressed into a drilled hole. The shank grips the board with an interference fit by broaching its way into the panel as it is squeezed into the holes.

CKFE and CKFSE threaded and non-threaded standoffs allow screws to be inserted through multiple layered boards for stacked assemblies. Our fasteners meet the Industry standards.

CKFH Broaching - Type Studs are electroplated with tin so they are readily solderable. Thus, they can be used both as solder able connectors and as permanently mounted mechanical fasteners.
