September, 2016 PEM Intros Self-Clinching Standoff Fasteners
Danboro, PA — PEM® self-clinching standoff fasten- ers from PennEngineering® are designed to enable precise and reliable mounting, spacing, or stacking of panels, boards or components in assemblies. This family of fasteners includes a wide range of types and styles designed for permanent installation into metal sheets as thin as 0.025 in. (0.63 mm). Depending on the type, the self-clinching
standoffs can be specified with through-hole or blind threads, unthreaded, or with closed ends. Types also include unthreaded SNAPTOP® or KEYHOLE® versions as well as standoffs with “gripping teeth” and standoffs for broaching or sur- face mounting in PCBs. Some types can be sup- plied with round and knurled fastener heads allowing closer-to-edge clinch installation, “grip- ping teeth” on the end of the fastener’s barrel, which are suited for grounding applications, or
with the capability to clinch into much thinner sheets than standard versions.
The self-clinching standoffs are manufac-
tured from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum for installation into steel or aluminum sheets or from specially heat treated 400 Series stainless steel for clinching into stainless steel sheets. Brass stand- offs can be specified for certain PCB applications. Standoffs for sheet metal are mounted by
pressing the fastener into a round hole and apply- ing sufficient squeezing force with a PEMSERT- ER® or standard press. The fastener then becomes a permanent part of an assembly without risk of loosening or falling out and fulfills panel-spacing requirements using minimal hardware. For threaded versions, a single mating screw com- pletes the attachment process. Detailed specifications, fastener drawings and

MTS Adds NEC and CEC Approvals to Safety Sensors
Cary, NC — MTS Sensors, a division of MTS Systems Corporation, has cer- tified its Temposonics® T-series prod- uct line to NEC and CEC Standards 500, 505 and 506. NEC and CEC cer- tifications are used in the U.S. and Canada to ensure that equipment meets specified standards for operat- ing in potentially hazardous condi- tions. The T-series linear position sen- sors, which already carry the ATEX and IECEx approvals used by other countries, are now ATEX, IECEx, NEC and CEC hazardous-area-certi- fied for use in Class I, II, III; Divisions
T-series linear position sensor.
1, 2; Groups A through G; and Zone 0/1, 21 and 22. Available in standard and SIL2
versions (Safety Integrity Level Standard IEC 61508), the series addresses the growing demand for hazardous area and functional safety solutions typically sought after by engineers in the power generation, oil processing and chemical industries. MTS Sensor’s proprietary

Temposonics magnetostrictive tech- nology provides an extremely accu- rate non-contact method for measur- ing position, which can be used in the most demanding applications. Sensors based on this technology are resilient to vibration, shock and extreme pressure. Since these sen- sors are not reliant on moving parts, they have prolonged operational lifespans, with no maintenance or
recalibration required. Contact: MTS Systems Corp.,
