Quick-release stand-off fastener is designed to reduce the time and costs associated with traditional assembly methods for, say, PCBs as well as minimising the amount of screws needed.
5000 fasteners types are held in stock
Fastener and turned parts supplier holds 5000 in-stock standard line items of which self-clinch fasteners are a significant stock item.
As a producer and supplier of fasteners for use throughout the sheet metal fabrication and electronics industries Northern Precision is, said sales director Steve Smith, committed to RoHS compliancy and fully supports customers' compliance.
In terms of the use of lead, some turned components supplied by Northern Precision may contain lead as an alloying agent, specifically parts manufactured from EN1a Pb leaded steel (230M07 Pb).
However, these fall within the Directive guidelines by containing no more than 0.35% lead by weight.
Detailed product specifications in the new brochure cover each available fastener type: self-clinching, high-strength and broaching fasteners; rivet bushes; sheet nuts; weld nuts, studs and spade tags; cage nuts; and blind rivets.
The informative installation guides and tooling sections embrace, for example, the Prima Inserter installation press as well as the Rivedrill and Nutdrill attachments.
These convert cordless and electric drills into a blind rivet or sheet nut placement tool at low cost.
In addition, the informative 'Do's and Don'ts' section for the installation of self-clinch products will benefit every fastener user.
The catalogue also shows the direct links to the Northern Precision Web site for the specific data required.
