Alternate Solutions
PennEngineering® recommendations
of alternate hardware and cost savings
opportunities.

microPEM® TackSerts
14
• microPEM® TackSert (TKTM) is
designed to be pressed into
plastic or cast materials and
permanently join two (or more)
components.
• Many screws could be replaced by
TackSerts.
• TackSerts cost about as much as
a screw, but as installed with a
simple pressing motion that can
represent considerable cost
savings during assembly.
• Additionally there is no need for a
tapped hole which saves further
cost.

microPEM® TackScrew
15
• microPEM® TackScrew (TSTM)
integrates proven self-clinching
technology for permanent sheet-
to-sheet attachment while also
incorporating a unique thread-like
feature to allow fastener removal
when necessary. TackScrew
fasteners can even be reinstalled
one time if desired.

microPEM® Threaded Inserts
16
• microPEM® Threaded Inserts
(MSIBTM) are designed for use in
straight or tapered holes.
• Symmetrical design eliminates
need for orientation.
• Installed by pressing into mounting
hole with ultrasonic equipment.
Can also be installed using a
thermal mounting press melting the
plastic surrounding the insert.

microPEM® Screws
17
• microPEM® Screws;
PennEngineering® has license
with Microstix®, Torx® and Torx
Plus® driver and self-tapping
thread patent as like TAPTITE®,
FASTITE®, REMFORM® and
REMFORM F® with different
design solutions.

microPEM® SMT Standoff
18
• microPEM® Standoff (SMTSOTM)
fasteners mount to PCBs in the
same manner and at the same
time as other surface mount
components prior to the
automated reflow solder
process. The fasteners simply
become another board
component.

microPEM® Standoff
19
• microPEM® Standoff (MSO4TM)
self-clinching standoff installs
easily into thin metal host sheets
by pressing them into pre-
punched and properly sized
mounting holes. After installation,
they become permanent parts of
an assembly and will not loosen or
fall out. A mating screw
completes component attachment.

microPEM® Locating Pin
20
• microPEM® self-clinching pins
clinch permanently where
designed into stainless or other
metal sheets as thin as 0.5mm /
.020”. The chamfered end of the
pin enables easy mating-hole
alignment and the head of the
installed pin will be flush in the
host sheet to present a smooth
and clean appearance. They can
be installed automatically to
streamline production and
eliminate issues associated with
handling of small parts.
