PEM HFH/HFHS/HFHB Heavy-Duty Studs are easy-to-install self-clinching studs with heat-treated carbon steel as fastener material. These studs can be installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets (steel/aluminum/copper) and squeezing them into place with a standard press. The squeezing action embeds the studs' head into the sheet, and the metal displaced by the head flows around the ribs and into the annular groove. This process creates a flushhead assembly and securely locks the studs into the sheet with high pushout resistances and torque-out. These HFH/HFHS/HFHB studs are used in applications such as automotive, aerospace, datacom, medical, telecom, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicle chargers.
Automotive Electronics (AE)
PEM Automotive Electronics (AE) feature design-engineered products and solutions for critical applications. As electronics-based systems in vehicles become more complex, high performance and reliability are key. PEM fasteners are lightweight and feature a reduced footprint, less assembly time, and safety-critical reliability. They are manufactured in PEM's Clean Lab, which uses sophisticated cleaning and testing processes to meet ISO 16232 and VDA 19 standards. PEM Automotive Electronics products include fasteners, self-clinching nuts, studs and pins, standoffs, captive panel screws, compression limiters, and cable-tie mounts and hooks. These PEM components are ideal for a range of applications, including infotainment, navigation, communication, driver assistance, safety and security, wireless connectivity, electric powertrains, and airbags.
