Fasteners have the right angle onboard
Surface mount R'Angle fasteners offer an efficient and reliable method to create permanent right-angle attachment points on printed circuit boards.
New PEM ReelFast surface mount R'Angle fasteners offer an efficient and reliable method to create permanent right-angle attachment points on printed circuit boards These threaded fasteners mount to the edge or interior of PC boards in the same manner and at the same time as other surface mount components prior to the solder reflow process

Spacers and nuts run with automatic PCB processes
PEM ReelFast SMT spacers/nuts can be mounted on printed circuit boards in the same manner and at the same time as other surface mount components prior to the automated reflow solder process.
The fasteners can replace conventional angle brackets or threaded right-angle blocks, which must be attached with loose screws.
This reduces the amount of required hardware to be handled and promotes lighter designs.
On permanent installation in PC boards as thin as 1mm, PEM surface-mount R'Angle fasteners provide strong, reusable threads in sizes 2-56 to 8-32 and M2 to M4 for mating screws.
The fasteners can mount board to chassis, chassis to board, or component to board and their unique design can allow users to realise additional multi-function benefits in an assembly.
These RoHS-compliant fasteners include a flat top for vacuum pickup and an undercut to accept solder readily and permit flush-to-edge installation of the fastener.
Tape-and-reel packaging conforms with industry standards and preferences for traditional surface mount components.
