Keystone Electronics has introduced a new series of threaded standoffs specifically designed and packaged for use on PC boards in the same manner as other surface mount components.
“The devices can be used in any PCB construction, including medical electronics,” said Joe Rosenblum, a company spokesperson.
Manufactured from steel with a tin plate, these standoffs can be added to the board using the same SMT equipment used to populate the board, reducing scrap and handling time while minimizing damage to a PCB that may occur while using traditional mounting products, ensuring easy reflow soldering for reliable solder joints.
Threaded SMT standoffs are available in 2-56, 4-40 and 6-32 threads in lengths from 1/16 in. up to 3/8 in. and are supplied on tape and reel with Kapton tape on the top surface for easy pickup.
They are ideal for use with most vacuum and mechanical pick-and-place assembly systems.
Availability is from stock through Keystone’s global distribution network. Online ordering is accommodated.
