- Self-clinching
- Unique locking feature
Steel locknuts.
PEM Type SL TRI-DENT self-clinching threaded steel locknuts
provide permanent load-bearing threads in aluminum or steel sheets as thin as 0.040
in./1mm. They are offered in 4-40 through 1/4-20 and M3 through M6 thread sizes. Upon
installation, the locknut becomes a permanent and secure part of an assembly and will not
loosen or fall out. They fit mounting holes for PEM Type S nuts, enabling their use
wherever standard nuts are specified. Installation is quick: the locknut is placed in a
punched or drilled hole and sufficient squeezing force is applied to embed the clinching
ring completely in the sheet metal. Threads will not distort since the recommended shank
length is always less than the minimum sheet thickness. Penn Engineering &
Manufacturing, Danboro, PA. 215-766-8853. http://www.pemnet.com

 Ratchet fasteners. This Quick Bind Fastener is molded in
engineering grade nylon 6/6, allowing for a more rigid fastener. The unit consists of two
identical parts fastened together, eliminating the need to match two different parts for
assembly. When simply pressed together, interlocking gripper teeth form a secure bond. The
binding system is available in grip ranges from 1/4- to 3/4-in., and with a head style of
either a 0.406- or 0.750-in. diameter. Ark-Plas Products Inc, Flippin, AR.

 Clamping system. The Beta Series clamping system secures pipe,
tube and hose. Consisting of a thermoplastic clamp body and used with plated or stainless
steel cover and weld plates, the clamping system absorbs shock, surge, noise and
vibration. It also prevents galvanic corrosion as dissimilar metal contact is eliminated.
Available in standard, heavy and twin series, sizes range from 1/4 in. tube to 3 in. pipe.

 Push-on bolt retainers. This push-on bolt retainer functions
as a locking washer in applications where screws and bolts must be securely retained prior
to final assembly. The Shakeproof Bolt Retainer is simply pushed down on a screw or bolt
to hold it tightly in place. When the nut is applied and the permanent assembly completed,
the compressed retainer is designed to set up a strut action and function as an
anti-loosening lock washer. ITW Shakeproof Assembly Components, Milwaukee,
WI. 414-264-5090.

 Knurl pins. This knurl pin design is effective for use in
assemblies requiring thin PCB substrates, and is helpful when designs call for both the
improved thermal characteristics of a thin PCB and high pin-retention strength. Designed
to complement the company's star-pin technology, the knurl pin is manufactured with a
series of raised bumps on its surface rather than the uniform star-shaped configuration
used in star pins. They are available in 0.018-, 0.025-, 0.031- and 0.040-in. diameter
configurations. Autosplice, San Diego, CA. 800-535-5538.

 Anti-static masking tape. HumiTape HT600 is particularly
useful for work on static-sensitive military and electronic assemblies. The tape contains
no silicones and is resistant to solvents. It contains no chemical release coat, so it can
be removed without leaving a residue behind, eliminating the risk of flaking,
contamination or migration. It comes in standard 216 ft. rolls, in widths from 1/8-
through 2-in., and has a total thickness of .003 in. HumiSeal, Woodside, NY.
