SELF-CLINCHING STANDOFFS TYPES SO/SOS/SOA/BSO/BSOS/BSOA (1) The values reported are averages when all installation specifications and procedures are followed. Variations in mounting hole size, sheet material and installation procedure will affect results. Performance testing of this product in your application is recommended. We will be happy to provide samples for this purpose. (2) Joint failure in torque-out and pull-thru will depend on the strength and type of screw being used. In some cases the failure will be in the screw and not in the self-clinching standoff. Please contact our...
