NORTHERN PRECISION'S QUICK RELEASE STANDOFF FASTENER CAN TRANSFORM PCB ASSEMBLY TIMES

The new quick-release standoff fastener introduced by Northern Precision (NP), the specialist single-source supplier of fasteners, as well as special-purpose turned and cold formed parts (www.npfasteners.com), is designed to reduce both the time and costs associated with traditional assembly methods for, say, PCBs.

The use of their quick-release standoff will also minimise the amount of loose hardware (screws, for example) usually associated with such tasks. As standard, quick-release standoffs are suitable for installation on bottom panels of minimum 1 mm thick, and top panels of 1.0 mm to 1.8 mm, and is available from stock for next-day delivery.

A broaching style of quick-release standoff is also available by special order for PCB to PCB mounting applications.

Accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:2000, NP maintains an extensive range of 5,000 in-stock standard line items covering most applications and materials. The company supplies self-clinching, high-strength and broaching fasteners, rivet bushes, sheet nuts, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets as well as special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements.
