PEM Nut, Stud and Screw Installation | Permanent Press-Fit Connection
We press-install PEM fasteners into thin sheet parts without welding or extra operations.
What Are PEM Fasteners?
PEM (self-clinching) fasteners are nuts, studs or screw heads permanently pressed into thin sheet metal using a press. They create a durable connection point without melting the material or leaving weld marks.
Why PEM Instead of Welded Nuts?
PEM fasteners provide a solid connection without the material deformation risk that welding can cause, especially in heat-sensitive or thin (typically 0.5–3 mm) sheet parts. Widely used in electronics enclosures, appliance bodies and panel manufacturing.
Application Range
| Part Type | Material Thickness |
|---|---|
| PEM nut / stud / screw | 0.5 – 3 mm |
Which Process Does It Follow?
Applied after laser cutting or punch cutting, at the final assembly stage.
